TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Bite injuries at a day care center JO - Early childhood research quarterly A1 - Solomons, Hope C. A1 - Elardo, Richard SP - 89 EP - 96 VL - 4 IS - 1 N2 - Over a 42-month period, 66 of 133 children at a university day care center received 224 bites, three of them by insects. Most bites were inflicted by other children, but nearly 20% were secondary to falls. Toddlers 13 to 24 months of age were bitten most frequently. Most bites occurred mid-morning, randomly throughout the week, and most commonly in September. Suggestions are made for decreasing children's aggressive biting in group care.
