| Re: Toddler And Asthma
It's probably just the age. My son has CF and is on albuterol, etc. He just turned 3 and this past winter he bit his classmates. Twice he bit three children in less than two hours. I looked up biting and read about how biting can happen for several different reasons -- frustration (toddlers are easily frustrated & upset), curiousity -- another reason could be because the caregivers aren't paying attention. Usually a child will give a sign that they're going to bite. My son announced during show and tell he was going to bite -- few minutes later he walked up to a child, pulled up his sleeve and bit him on the arm. Later in the day, he was sitting on a potty chair, bounced the chair across the room and bit another child. Both of those incidents could've been avoided if the teacher had been paying closer attention. I'm probably jinxing myself, 'cuz every time I remark that DS hasn't bitten anyone lately, he does so, but the biting incidents happened off and one for a couple of weeks and then stopped, pretty much hasn't bitten for almost two months. Good luck.
