🦷 Understanding & Managing Biting in Early Years

Biting can be a common phase in early childhood, especially for toddlers who are still learning how to communicate big feelings. This visual guide shares practical, gentle strategies to support children in a positive and developmentally appropriate way.

✨ Stay calm and firm
✨ Use positive reinforcement
✨ Offer a teething toy when needed
✨ Teach words to express feelings
✨ Redirect attention
✨ Set clear, consistent boundaries

Instead of punishment, we focus on guidance, emotional literacy, and consistency. When adults respond calmly and model the right behaviour, children gradually learn safer ways to express frustration, excitement, or overwhelm.

Supporting children through challenging behaviours is part of creating a nurturing, secure environment where they feel understood, not shamed.

A common question we hear is:
How long should sensory play be? 🤔

The short answer?
As long as it’s working.

Some days it might be 20 minutes.
Other days it might be 5 minutes.

And 5 minutes still counts.

Sensory play isn’t about the clock.
It’s about the moment.
The regulation.
The connection.

When a child feels safe, curious, or calm,
that’s the magic of sensory play. ⭐

What does sensory play time look like for your child or your students?
