Understanding biting and choosing alternatives

Elizabeth Verdick’s board book presents toddler biting as a behavior that can have different triggers, including hunger, tiredness, strong emotions, or teething. It pairs that explanation with concrete alternatives children can try, such as chewing a toy, having a cold drink, asking for a hug, or talking to an adult. Simple language and illustrations support the book’s guidance about when biting is and is not appropriate. Tips for parents and caregivers at the back extend the book’s practical focus beyond the child-facing text.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers beginning to learn about biting and other ways to respond to discomfort or big feelings
  • Parents and caregivers seeking simple language and practical alternatives to biting
  • Educators working with very young children on early social skills

Book overview

Help Your Toddler Fight The Urge To Bite!

There are many reasons why a toddler might enter a biting phase. Sometimes kids bite when they're hungry, tired, or full of big emotions they have trouble expressing. Little mouths feel sore when new teeth come in, resulting in teething. Teeth Are Not For Biting explores reasons why children might want to bite and healthy alternatives that are easy for kids to do!

  • Explore Ways to Nip Biting in the Bud: With her trademark mix of empathy and encouragement, author Elizabeth Verdick suggests positive things children can do instead of biting: chew a chewy toy, drink a cold drink, get a hug, or talk to a grown-up.
  • Simple Language for Little Learners: Using simple words and relatable illustrations, this children's book helps toddlers understand when biting is okay and when it is not.
  • Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: Tips are included in the back of the nearly indestructible book to help prevent biting.

Best Behavior(R) Series: Kids, parents, and educators love the award-winning book series that teaches children ages 1-4 important life skills in fun, relatable ways. From managing emotions to manners for kids, each book in the series uses simple words and relatable illustrations that encourage positive behaviors. Bilingual board books are available for select titles.
