He may need to be in a school where they have a higher adult to child ratio so someone can watch him and help prevent him from hurting others

Does he have a biting necklace? Helps my daughter when she needs to bite something. How’s his communication? If he can’t express himself well he may be frustrated.

1. My first thought is frustration due to language to. Mommy may know him well enough to figure out wants/needs. But maybe not the case in play group.
2. He is an only child, perhaps the transition to a playgroup was overwhelming and he needs more specialized attention in a smaller setting. Or he needs something to help w the potential seperation anxiety. Even something like a few pictures.
3. Sensory- and even a few minutes w a pacifier at home or at night may help, or drinking from a sports type bottle, or calming down by drinking a cold drink through a thin straw.
4. Double check that he hasnt picked up the behavior from another child. Has this happened with another kid first? Little ones are really good at copying behaviors.
5. Needs an outlet for built up energy or just following along in the group. He may benefit from a few minutes of break by himself paired w something active. Can that be accomplished. For instance every hour 5 minutes to do some jumping or running, even dancing but some sort of extra physical movement for the entire short period.
5. Regardless, yes you need to shut him down. If you are not seeing it at home, the "trigger" is not in that setting. I would do some social story types to try to figure out what the problem is. Read or make your own book about biting and talk to your child about it along the way. I just quickly typed a google search and got a link from barnes and noble "picture books to help kids with biting, hitting, shoving" I didnt check any of them but perhaps a book like that.
6. Of course it can also be a combination of these options. And it can take time to figure out. To help stop it in the meantime you may need to start with some old fashion bribery. Im not a big fan but if your child is on the verge of getting kicked out and he needs fo stay in playgroup. You got to do what you got to do.
