Today me and my son will be practicing taking the bone away from her and giving it back. I can not have her ever bite a child. Any other suggestions of what I should be doing? She is a little over 5 months now.

It sounds like you did some excellent training procedures with your Tinkerbell.

I hope your son is ok and has forgiven Tinkerbell yet agree with you that biting a child is uncalled for. I am guessing Tinkerbell will learn her rules soon since she is just shy of 6 months old. Good job!!
