How to teach young children friendship skills | Parenta.com
Summary
Around the age of two or three, children may bite others for a range of reasons: to release frustration, to protect their turf in a row over a toy, or because they feel threatened. Children this age often resort to biting because they haven’t yet developed the higher thinking skills to resist their primitive impulses to lash out. Then you will understand how difficult it is for a young child – who still relies greatly on their instincts – not to retaliate when someone they like upsets them. So, rather than shout and raise their stress levels more, remove them from the situation to allow their more rational thinking to return. Although their brain is very much a work in progress, this will help the child start to use their verbal negotiation skills, rather than their teeth to get what they want.
