1. How would you inform Rupert’s father that his child has been bitten?

Rupert and Martin are both 4 years old. Today, Martin has bitten Rupert on the arm. Over the past three weeks Martin has developed a pattern of biting children. When Martin’s mother comes to pick him up and hears that he has bitten again, she confides in you that she is worried about his behaviour at home also. She tells you that he is also becoming more aggressive towards her, and that she feels unable to cope. She is particularly worried about the other parents in the setting “knowing her business”.
