From Biting to Hugging: Understanding Social Development in Infants and Toddlers
by Donna Wittmer, PhD, and Deanna W. Clauson

  • Aren't infants too little to notice and learn from other infants?
  • The toddlers in my room are always grabbing things from each other. What should I do?
  • I saw a toddler give a crying child a toy. How can I help toddlers do that more often?
  • The two-year-olds in my room are always saying, "Mine," when they are playing with a toy and another child approaches. Is this normal?
  • I have a two-year-old in my room who screams when other children come close. How can I help her?
The infant-toddler years can be challenging. Teachers, parents, and caregivers need strategies to help infants and toddlers feel safe, secure, loved, lovable, and happy. Little ones need adult help to learn how to be in healthy, enjoyable relationships.

From Biting to Hugging offers strategies to help caregivers teach the littlest children prosocial behaviors and techniques to deal in developmentally appropriate ways with challenging behaviors such as biting and hitting. Learn how infants and toddlers develop socially and emotionally and discover ideas for nurturing:
  • Self-regulation
  • Skills for joining in play
  • Expressing needs and emotions
  • Conflict-resolution skills
  • And so much more!
