Description

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
• 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.
