We had this situation with our toddler. It takes a lot of casual explaining and confirmation through body language that you don't approve of such behavior. Be careful that you are not pushing too much because it will actually encourage the little one to do it more. It's a way to seek attention and regain control.
Patience, reconfirmation through body langauge, empathetic ear for the day care, and a bit of thick skin to complaints - that was our recipe 🙂
Each kid is different and some are more needy of attention and control than the others. Don't worry much! This too shall pass 😊
...bit his mother and I at home a little bit, but now he’s doing it at daycare it’s a concern. Teachers said he’s doing it in a playful manner and not aggressively. We are stern with him at home and say no and explain why it’s not good to bite, but he just smiles at us and tries doing it again. He does have some teeth coming in but he has had teeth coming in for several months now and the biting people is more recent.
Anyone experience this? Anything we can do? We don’t want him to get kicked out of daycare!!
I have three kids, and have seen hundreds of different kids at their day cares and elementary school at this point. Pretty normal to have a biter or two in any particular class. Sucks when it’s your kid, one of mine was. Keep doing what you’re doing. They’ll get over it. look for triggers, but don’t be frustrated if there isn’t a clear one. For mine, it had a lot to do with her being slightly slower in verbal development and other kids reaching across her, but not necessarily from her, to grab something. She felt her space was violated, And didn’t have the words to express it. Chomp.

At 15 months just about all kids bite. My son did and he stopped (now almost 3). We found in addition to the points above, just make sure you and the wife aren’t playfully biting him, they see it and pick up on stuff. But the “no” reinforcement is likely to work 50/50 from now until the kid is 30 🤣
Its a phase. Likely out of frustration and inability to express himself. It'll pass.
