The kitten is probably just thinking he's playing. But the biting needs to stop for sure, especially if your daughter is in pain.



Be sure that you are frequently playing with the kitten using a feathered tease or something like that. Play with him until he is at the point of exhaustion. He'll let you know by lying down and not playing anymore!



When he does bite, try saying OUCH in a very high, loud voice. This mimics the sound that kittens make when they cry "uncle" in a play fight, and most cats will instinctively back off. Also you might want to consider putting the kitten in a time out carrier for 10 minutes when he does bite.



Here's a website with more information on biting and agression:

Feline Behavior



Good luck!
