This problem is very common in that age group. I would remind her mom that this is a completely age appropriate behavior, but there are ways to prevent her from biting again. I would do research on my own about techniques to stop biting, and present them to her mom as possible solutions that we can apply together.

Simple young children need a schedule that is responsive to their needs, including appropriate stimulation and time to rest. They need to be talked to and played with, therefore the director need to be informed of what going with the parent.

I would tell lily's mother that unfortunately this is very normal behavior for children her age and is actually a normal part of development. I would also let her know that we could offer lily alternatives to biting like chewing on a teether and ask her to start talking about biting and talking about feeling instead of using mouths at home as a family.

I would tell Mom that biting is often a part of a 20 month old's development and ask how we could come up with solutions for home and school.

I would reassure the parents that it is normal for parents to have this type of behavior while in this age. I would also tell them that it is important to be consistent in compassionately reminding Lily that biting hurts our friends.

I would explain to her that it is an age appropriate behavior and point them to an outside source that explains this. I would also talk to her about tracking the behavior to pin-point a possible reason (hunger, frustration , teething, etc.).

I would tell the mother that at her age it is normal to be biting. And that we should probably get her something she can teeth on. We can also remind Lily that biting hurts people and with time she will hopefully stop biting.
