Social development in children 1 year 9 months


Children of the second year of life is much less likely to put in my mouth a variety of subjects, but from time to time, may bite. This may be an act of aggression, excitement, or curiosity. Most often, children bite when they are angry or helpless in some situations, for example, when another child does not want to give him a toy.

Biting, as well as plucking, fighting and hair pulling is the primitive form of expression and very natural for young children who have not yet developed communication skills and do not realize that their actions have physical and emotional impact on others. (Remember that children at this age are extremely self-centered and do not know what empathy.)

So, a little child will grow into an adult evil? Probably not. Toothy the baby will outgrow the habit of biting to 3 years with proper education, a large vocabulary and skills of self-control.
