Dear ds, stop biting your sister!

[elaineandmichaelsmommy]

I swear, every time I turn around dd is crying out in pain because ds has bitten her on the finger. I don't know why he does it. I have my guesses though. It's always on the tip of the finger or the toe. So I think he's just trying to be affectionate, but darnit,she doesn't even want to get near him now. How am I supposed to promote sibling closeness when she won't get within 5 feet of him?

Any suggestions on how to get him to stop?

no suggestions, just hugs. I don't guess putting that stuff that people use to get kids not to suck their thumbs on her hands would work :) My guess is you're going to have to have a consequence for it and stick to it strictly, but I'm not at that stage so I try to refrain from giving advice when I don't know :) Hope it gets better soon!
