My three-year-old daughter has started to bite her siblings when she is angry. She does it hard enough that it bruises and breaks the skin, and bleeds a tiny bit. She is the youngest of four.

Im sure ill get some flack for this butâŚbite her back. Not hard enough to draw blood tho. It seems like little ones maybe dont know what theyâre doing hurts someone but if they see âhey this hurtsâ theyll most likely stop. Mine did lol

bite back or discipline
Mine bit me and I bit her back. She never did it again.
My oldest son pushed the baby off the couch when he bit him. 
It worked. He stopped biting. 10/10 would not recommend. Dad was angry and oldest, I was laughing cause karma (he was old enough to know better and we had tried everything). Baby cried. I sat there likeâŚ

Have them Bite her back she wonât do it again when she sees it hurts not hard enough to leave a mark obviously just to let her know it hurts
What l did is l made the kid bite themself in the arm and it broke them of doing it again
I bit mini back. She was about 1âŚmaybe 1.5âŚshe never bit me again
Asserting her dominance lol.
i bit my kids back when they bit and never did it again my mom did to to my kids and never did it again to all 3 of mine a 25 yr old and 8 and 9 yr old even my niece
I do not disagree with biting them backâŚworked great for my oldest son who bit a few times, I finally bit him back obviously not hard enough to leave any type of mark, just hard enough to say hey this hurts it worked. My second son who is currently being evaluated for autismâŚI just cant figure out how to make him not bite. He gets upset and he bites.
My grandson used to bite me until i bit him back. He hasnât bit me since.

Depends on whatâs started the biting and whatâs setting her off? Being the smallest isnât easy she might just be trying to assert herself when sheâs angry and has taken to biting because she will get an instant result, its not just a âyouâ thing to sort out your other kids need to work with you to change her behavior especially if they want to stop getting bitten, you need to work out what sets her off, stop it before it starts and redirect her to something else or just try talking to her.
Im glad so many said bite back. One mom group im in was like âbe nice. Redirect. Be gentle. Biting is abuseâ like whatâŚstfu and mind your own
