My boy is biting other kids

Hello, my little boy has just come out the main phase of this but still on occassion (like today -bites) ! Usually it's due to frustration (toys being snatched, cannot express themselves, tired etc) it is a development stage but usually only lasts a short while. I found watching this video with my little boy and also repeating the words "teeth are not for biting" when he did it. https://youtu.be/wd0Iye2C_l4?si=rCPuF0dPKgUBVdOh It's a really hard phase and I hope you are okay as I know it was mentally draining going through this for myself xx
Offer them something they can bite on. So if he gets the urge he knows where to put it. We have a teething matchstick monkey that we offer if she feels the need to bite down. It’s normal developmental so just show them how to deal with the urge without hurting someone else x
My LO went through this phase and is just starting to come out of it (after about a year). He still does it on the odd occasion when he’s frustrated with me though. I think it’s just a phase you need to wait until they grow out of it. I tried talking to my boy, redirecting him, reading him books on biting and nothing helped. Just continue to tell him it’s not right and see if it eventually sinks in. My boy knew it was wrong as he told me when he calmed down but in the moment it’s hard for them to control that.
