What Causes Children To Develop The Habit Of Biting People Without Reason?
Hi, thanks for taking my question: My Grandson has started biting and not just clothing but people! Nothing seems to be going on when he does it. In fact, we were watching TV and I felt a sting and he really bit into me with taring a vein leaving a rather large know. What in the world causes this type of behavior?

Hello,
Biting people and things by a child is a common behaviour of children around 1-2 years old. It is typical for oral development stage and is a normal stage of development.
It is nothing wrong if he does but you should explain to him that is not good to bit people making them hurt.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
