HI,
I highly recommend the book 1,2,3 the toddler years. It is very congruent with PITC (Partners for Infant/toddler caregivers). The author is Irene Van der Zande. It includes a forward by Magda Gerber. It has short to-the-point chapters on biting and one called: fighting... its part of life too.
I also frequently recommend that parents read the book, Diaper Free, before Three. She has a lovely gentle and empowering approach. author is Jill Lekovic MD.

Hi there-
I am looking for good articles/links to send to our toddler families so that they can learn about:
1. Hitting, biting, etc. is a typical toddler behavior
2. empathy-being kind to families that have a child that may be the hitter or biter
3. trusting us as educators
I know I don't even need to say more....
Thanks in advance!
Jill
