When I knew he was going for me, I’d quickly move his own hand/arm in place of mine and he bit himself. Sounds mean, but I read it in the Dr. sears book (which I love) and it actually worked. Granted I didn’t try this until AFTER he’d led a few scars ( literally). Good luck!!!!

I mean seriously, if you don’t draw blood but just nip him enough to let him know it hurts…um…never mind.

I think we only had one incidence of biting and I think that he got bitten back by the other kid, so I am sorry that I can’t help you here.

Massive timeout? Enforced nap every time he does it? Gag him before you drop him off? I’m just spit balling here. It’s been a long time since I had to deal with toddlers – can you tell?

Might not be a bad investment for two, mischievous toddler boys. 😉

There must be something published out there. If not, you could write it!

A strong “NO” coupled with redirecting his behavior. Should be a “phase”.
Maybe more sign language for him – what’s the sign for “I want that!” (clenched fists?)
