Book Reviews of Teeth Are Not for Biting (Board Book) (Best Behavior Series)
Book Review: Terrific book for biting toddlers! Great parenting tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
Between the ages of 15 months and 20 months, my daughter was a biter. She bit her little friends at school and us. I was very distraught over this and desperate for a way to help her to understand that biting hurts people and that it's not appropriate behavior. One day I noticed this book at her daycare (Montessori)--and thought it would be helpful for us to have the book at home to help promote the concept that biting people wasn't a good thing to do. Well it worked--the book is superb in delivering this message to a very young toddler!
The book illustrations are wonderful and the words are simple and easily understandable for very small toddlers. I liked how the book examples completed the circle of understanding for toddlers--that yes, your teeth hurt and yes you may be frustrated by something--but there are other ways of expressing those feelings besides biting. I also liked that the book illustrates compassion for the people who are being bitten in the examples by emphasizing that biting hurts other people.
This book was an excellent tool for us as parents. If she bit us--we would tell her that it hurt, say "teeth are not for biting" (the phrase from the book) and then read this book to her. It really helped her to get over biting--and quickly too!! She improved right away and had completely stopped biting about 2 months after we started this routine. I credit this book with helping her to stop biting people and to understand that "teeth are not for biting".
We also have two other books in the series--"Hands are Not for Hitting" and "Feet are Not for Kicking". These books were also equally superb as parenting tools for us to help us quell undesired, but natural, toddler behavior.
Summary of Teeth Are Not for Biting (Board Book) (Best Behavior Series)
?Crunch crunch crunch. Teeth are strong and sharp. Crunch crunch crunch. Teeth can help you chew. But teeth are not for biting. Ouch! Biting hurts.? Sooner or later, almost all young children will bite someone?a friend, a parent, a sibling. This upbeat, colorful, virtually indestructible book helps prevent biting and teaches positive alternatives.
The companion to our best-selling Hands Are Not for Hitting Board Book, Teeth Are Not for Biting gives reasons why children might want to bite. Little mouths feel sore when new teeth come in; sometimes kids bite when they?re hungry, tired, cranky, frustrated, angry, bored, distressed, or seeking attention. Author Elizabeth Verdick suggests positive things children can do instead of biting: chew a chewy toy, drink a cold drink, get a hug, tell a grown-up. This book also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers.
