When Babies Attack!

It seems that Olivia has been building up a taste for a certain kid in her class. It started off innocent enough...a little nibble here, a chomp there. So far she has bit this kid once when he snatched some food off of her lunch plate. Another time, they were supposed to be holding hands while out on a walk, and I guess she didn't want to. Well today we got a call from Ms. Mayra...Olivia had allegedly bitten this poor guy at least 4 times today, and then added another kid to her hit list for a total of 5 bites over 4 hours. I discussed this with the school director to see if they had any idea on how to get this to stop. They are going to just be diligent and try to intercept the biting before it starts, or try to see what is causing it to happen, and then have a talk with Olivia about conflict resolution and how you shouldn't bite, etc...I know Olivia...that will not work with her...she rarely listens to the voice of reason, especially since she doesn't understand more than maybe 150 words at the moment...I asked if they would be willing to just bite Olivia back (Tim and I nipped this biting in the bud when she started biting at home by returning the favor). The director almost fell out of her chair, oh gosh no, I could go to jail! So what can I do? At least she isn't biting me anymore!
