If your 14 month old was biting at daycare, how would you like it handled?

3 months ago my son was one of the kids being bitten several times a week and it broke my heart every time to see the marks on his arms. He’s now learned to start biting back and is one of the main biters in the room. Some days he won’t bite anyone, and then some days he bites 3 people! He is doing it out of frustration when someone takes a toy or any similar kind of “difficulty” he encounters.

When he was being bitten and not biting back, I was glad that they put the biting girl in a pack n play for most of the day. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, I get aggravated when my son gets put in “time out” in the pack n play after he bites. If it were for the widely suggested time of 1 minute per year of age of the child, I would be fine with it. But he’s being left in the pack n play for 20–45 minutes.

Has anyone worked at a daycare or dealt with this before? I understand he’s biting other children (fyi- he is NOT the only one biting) but does anyone else think that a 20–45 minute time out is a little harsh for a 14 month old??
