"As I feared, Emmett&amp;#039;s taking to biting people when he&amp;#039;s frustrated. So that&amp;#039;s fun. He doesn&amp;#039;t bite at random, so I guess that&amp;#039;s my silver lining, but if another baby snatches a toy from him, his first instinct is to scream and sink his teeth into her.  This delightful new behavior developed around Christmas and has gotten progressively worse. &amp;quot;Bite him back,&amp;quot; urged my aunt. &amp;quot;Bite him good. That&amp;#039;ll teach him.&amp;quot; This particular aunt is a little eccentric, so I opted to smile, nod, and totally ignore her. Since then we&amp;#039;ve tried time-outs, and the nanny attempts to rationalize with him, but the biting&amp;#039;s not getting any better. So I polled some mom at a party Tuesday night\u2014and SEVERAL of them told me to bite him Emmett! I was shocked! &amp;quot;You know, don&amp;#039;t, like, break skin,&amp;quot; said one mom. &amp;quot;But you have to hurt him.&amp;quot; This particular mom only had to bite her daughter once to break the habit. I admit it&amp;#039;s tempting. (How would we survive preschool interviews with a biter?!) But I really can&amp;#039;t picture myself biting Emmett. Especially enough to hurt him! If your kids bite, would you bite them back? Has anyone tried this? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
