Hitting and biting are two behaviors some children exhibit to the dismay of their parent. It is important to know that it is normal for the behavior, but just as imperative that you understand the importance of stopping the behavior before it becomes a problem. Identifying the underlying issues causing the child to bite is the first of several steps to take to deal with aggressive behaviors in your child. Once you’re done with that, follow these steps for proper help for your child.

Key Takeaways:

• Try to find out what the reason behind the aggression and teach your children better skills
• do not reward aggressive behavior, for example if your child hits to not do a task make them complete the task regardless.
