Well, the biting has in my opinion become less of a problem, at least it is not getting worse. So, I plan on continuing my current discipline's direction till it's not. My goal in starting this thread was to get info from ANYONE who has either gone thru this, or been sufficiently involved in a childs life as to have working knowledge of this problem and therefore give good advice as to what worked (or not!) for them (or someone close to them). I am digesting all the commentary so far, and I definately agree that 1) whatever i do, it must be consistantly applied as a form of dicipline, by everyone my child spends significant amounts of time with; and 2) spanking works in rare situations, and i will spank if
I deem it necessary, tho so far I feel she has never needed it because she knows my "vengeful god" voice means i'm serious (because i'm not afraid to leave my cart in the store and leave if that's what is needed etc.) So far, things have never escalated to the point where spanking was my last resort. I agree that certain types of discipline only teach one to
not get caught instead of
not doing it in the first place, and that is what I am trying to avoid!! Please, contuniue the discussion, I value all the opinions presented, from
all 
PS What the hell is anyone doing bringing kids to a movie theater to see a movie that's not specifically designed for kids??
I have also seen
infants at stock car races...WITHOUT ear protection.
Even I wear earplugs for pete's sake, nerdy or not.
