How to handle a biting toddler?

One of my clients recently asked how to handle a biting toddler and I thought I would post this so other parents can share their insight.

My advise was to be consistent, take a definitive tone of voice that is different from your play voice or daily speaking tone, and never positively acknowledge the behavior. Explain that it does not feel good and give a short but necessary time out by the same piece of furniture each time.

What are your thoughts?
