biter

OH.MY.GOODNESS. Adler is a biter. she has been sent home at least 3 times this week with write ups for biting. She bites a kid then said kid normally bites her back. she has big ole bruises on her arms. when the school called for the 1st time yesterday (see Rigby's email about 2nd call) it was about our little mountain climber fell and skinned the side of her head. it was a head wound so they had to call but it only took off the 1st layer of skin and no blood. while i had the director on the phone i asked about the biting. she said it was just a phase and that as quickly as she started it she will stop it. so there is nothing you can really do but be consistent and say "no biting, biting hurts." I know that at some schools if the biting gets bad that they will be kicked out so i asked about that and that is not a worry as it is just something that the kids do at that age. she is not malicious in doing it that is just how she is expressing herself at this time.
