I Need Advice

Does anyone know how to stop a biter? Cael is being so difficult when Everett cries. He HATES whenever Everett cries. I can't leave the room with both of the boys playing on the ground because if Everett starts fussing Cael will bite him. I just don't what to do. I have to put Everett in his crib whenever I need to go the the bathroom. Everett has to sit in his Bumbo when I'm cooking also. It is just really hard because he wants to be playing on the ground, but I can't trust Cael to leave him alone while no one is supervising. This morning Cael did it again. I was brushing my teeth and Cael decided to become a shark. I feel so overwhelmed by this.
HELP PLEASE? Any advice would be great.

Against what every person that knows something concrete about raising kids . . . I'm a big fan of biting back. Have you tried that?

When I was little, My little sister would bite me. My dad made me bite her back, and if I wouldn't do it (which I usually would pass) my dad would bit her. I don't remember if it was hard enough to leave a mark, but it worked. I think after a few times of being bit, she stoped. Worth a try. Good luck.

A very hard one! I need to talk to you, I'll try to remembe to call you after school. I think you are doing what you need to do, not leaving them in the same room. But hard for both of them.

Once I bit a kid down the street and she went home crying. My mom called her mom and told her to send the little girl back over to bite me back!! ah...well, it worked! haha!
P.S. Carys and Gray have both gone through a biting phase (sorry Kaidee and Miles!!)...but it passed pretty quick, best wishes for the phase to be over!! :)
