Dear Sophie,
We are still trying to figure out how to move you on past this biting stage. Yesterday, one of the other children in your class pushed you and, in retaliation, you bit him or her on the arm. This morning, your teacher Ms. Robin told me how you reacted when you were put in a time out after yesterday's incident. You were crying, and you pointed with a crooked index finger to some nearby blocks and repeated, "No biting, Block! No biting!" Ms. Robin said she struggled not to laugh.
I relayed this story to Daddy. He laughed too and said he was glad that you seemed to be "getting it." I, however, felt broken-hearted to hear it. You and I have had some talks about biting on the way home from school, and I wondered if I had been too stern with you. After all, you're a one year-old. Still just a baby.
Instead of the stern talks on the way home after you've had an "incident", I'm going to praise you with lots of hugs, kisses, and positive words every day that you don't have an "incident."
I sure hope that works!
I'll always love you,
Mommy
