What are the reasons why children love to bite?

Children will definitely develop some bad habits in life. Some children are prone to biting others. When they are in school, teachers will often call parents to tell them about this problem. Parents themselves will definitely feel very troubled. If children exhibit this kind of behavior, they must be properly educated and corrected, otherwise it will easily affect the children's future life. There are many reasons why children bite others. It may be itchy teeth, or it may be a different way of expressing emotions.

Itchy teeth

During the teething period, the gums and mucosa will be irritated and cause itching. They have a strong desire to bite things, but this desire cannot be satisfied, so they start biting people. This is a physiological phenomenon and parents don't need to be too nervous. At this time, parents can use teething sticks to alleviate the special needs of their children during this special period. At the same time, you should give your child more fresh vegetables and fruits that are rich in fiber, such as cabbage, spinach, apples, pears, etc. Cut these vegetables and fruits into shreds or fine grains to give your child more opportunities to chew.

A special way of expressing emotions

For babies aged 1-2 years old, due to their relatively poor language skills, they cannot use words to express their feelings about life, so they often like to express their emotions, including happiness and liking someone, by biting people. At this stage, we should educate children to express their emotions in other ways, teach them to speak more, and learn to express themselves with words instead of biting.

Curious Imitation

Sometimes your baby's biting is a form of imitative behavior, learned by watching others behave in the same way. Babies are very curious. When they see other children biting others, they will think it is a very novel thing, so they will try to bite others. Since babies have no concept of right and wrong, they will not realize that they have done something wrong. At this time, parents should clearly tell the baby: biting is not a good behavior, mom and dad don’t like it, don’t do it again in the future, and emphasize this repeatedly in a timely manner.

Vent your unhappy emotions

Some children are domineering and willful. When they feel dissatisfied or their demands are not met, they vent their anger by biting others. At this time, parents should immediately educate their children seriously, letting them know that biting is a wrong behavior, biting will hurt others and cause pain to others. At the same time, take him to apologize to the child who was bitten, creating an intuitive atmosphere for him to understand the consequences of biting. If such behavior occurs repeatedly, the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment. Certain diseases may also cause children's aggressive behavior, such as lead poisoning, so avoid children developing bad behavioral habits.
