My kid bit someone.

My son (1yo) had a run-in at the playground. An older girl wanted the seat he was climbing into, and decided to take it. She grabbed him from behind, pulled him down, yelling as she did it. So... My kid bit her hard, squarely in the chest.I've been making a huge effort to teach my son how to play with others, but it's hard to do when the other kids aren't playing nice either. I don't have any other children, and none of my friends have young ones. So we rely heavily on public places for social development. I really wish the other family had stuck around so that my son could see the effect he had, seen the girl's tears and the bite marks, because that would help him learn. But they split very quickly, only to send they're friend back to yell at me.Has anyone else had their kids do this? Should I be doing something different? If another kid bit mine, I'd be pissed. But also, if it only happened because my kid mistreated the other, then I'd say he got what he was asking for and that's how he'll learn. Is that wrong?My son is physically very advanced. He can keep up easily with the 3yos at gymnastics, but has not yet started to talk much. I'm wondering if he is using physical behaviors (like biting, in this case) as a way to communicate because he doesn't have the right words yet. Does this make sense, or am I improperly justifying my son's violent tendencies?Extra note: this is the first time he has ever bit someone. He hits sometimes, or most often he'll randomly throw something if upset. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2VD8Wj9
