I have 3 year old MZ twins (identical) and one talks fantastic and the other does not. This leads to frustration of the one who doesnt which leads to bitting. I have tried everything that anyone has said to try, yes even bitting back (not a good idea!) and nothing has helped. He has been doing this gosh for a year now on and off. We have been trying to work with him to get him to talk more which is giving him more attention now which is taking away from the one who used to get all the attention because he could speak and he knew how to get people to laugh so now he is hitting to get the attention back. I am at a loss as to how to get them both on the right track!! HELP!!!!

One of the teachers in my twins (B/G 4 yrs old) preschool have my son a rag to carry around in his pocket. He had been biting - like you, out of frustration. He was told to yank out the rag and bite it if he got mad and was going to bite someone. He carried that rag around for about a week - the first day, he totally ignored it - but the teachers would give it to him and remind him if he got upset and they saw it ahead of time, or they saw him bite someone. Within a week, he was not biting anymore.

Good Luck!
