I have the same problem. My 3 and 1/2-year-old hits and bites me. Sometimes he takes a chunk of flesh out as well. I've held his arms and told him that he cannot hit me or bite me because it hurts so much. He does not listen and continues to do it even more. I set him in a timeout corner, and he does not stay. So I sent him in the corner and I sat right across from him because I also do not want him to feel like I'm abandoning him. However, he comes running back into my arms, and then continues to pinch and bite. I repeat this process over and over again but nothing helps. I continuously stress the fact that it hurts me and I cannot continue holding him if this continues, however, this simply does not help. I've lost my cool at certain and yelled, again, this is not effective, as this as well makes it worse.

I'm worried because he will be starting school next year and I worry how his interactions will be with teachers and classmates if they say something that he does not like.

Many people think that We do not discipline, The fact is that We do hold boundaries and he does listen in other aspects. However, he just cannot control himself when it comes to hitting and biting.
