Biting is a typical behavior often seen in infants, toddlers, and 2-year olds. As children mature, gain self-control, and develop problem-solving skills, they usually outgrow this behavior.

This article will help you to understand the reasons young children bite and give you some ideas and strategies for responding appropriately.
