If a child bites you, push your arm into the bite to avoid tearing skin. Call over a teacher for help. Wash any bites that break skin with soap and water. Report all bites to a teacher, and see the nurse for bandaging or ice if bleeding or swelling occurs. The biting child's parents will be informed. To prevent biting, tell teachers if a child attempts or is known to bite so they can watch for the behavior and warn others.
