Topic: Biting Behaviour

Biting is a common behaviour, particularly amongst young children.

There are a number of reasons why an individual may bite:

    • Relieving pain

    • Seeking sensory input

    • Gaining connection / attention

    • Expressing an emotion

    • Communicating another need

Use these resources to understand why individuals may bite, and explore different support strategies to try in your setting.
