Greta had a pretty good week.. until Friday. I was on a conference call and Bemis Farms came up on my phone... I thought oh no, she's sick! Well I would have taken that over the call I got. Greta bit another kid... this time so hard that they had to call to make sure she was up on her vaccinations because it broke the skin... through the kid's shirt. Then after, said "Boo Boo. I bite!"
I was mortified! I didn't know what to say. Miss Jeanette also said she had been very aggressive again today, being grabby and hitting., Again, mortified! So after a long talk with her teacher and then again after school, she said to just keep reinforcing that teeth are for eating and not biting people. Ugh! My kid has turned into a little vampire.
That little stinker is smart though... as we drove home and I talked to her about it, I could literally see her ignoring me and not answering. Then she did the same at home. She knew what she did was not nice.
I don't want to have the kid that's the biter and definitely not the parent of the kid who hits other kids. I know kids bite, and she's at that age, but I still feel horrible and embarrassed. And completely clueless what to do. Trying to reinforce the positive. Give her lots of love. If all else fails, I may attempt to bite her this weekend so she knows how it feels but really don't want to have to do that. Let's hope this is just a phase and passes quickly.
