I have a confession to make now. All three of my sons were biters. I made the oldest bite a peppercorn. After one time if he got the gleam in his eye I’d say to him that he looked like he needed something to bite & that I would provide something. He’d cover his mouth with both hands, “nooooo”.

Don’t know what happened to the rest of the peppercorns by the time I had the second & third sons. Found out the middle son really liked hot pickled peppers. After one taste he began to pester his father, whenever his dad pulled out his favorite snack. Found out the youngest liked onions. I’d ask him “the question” & he’d peel an onion for himself.

The most common advice given to parents dealing with biters back then was to bite the child. I assume your kids are younger than mine. What’s the common advice about biting these days.

I know many parents that do this which I don’t think is abuse, but this women went over the line IMHO. It taught them that the biting is not worth it. lol.
