Mostly children bite to express their suppressed emotions, mostly anger, but not to exclude other emotions like anxiety, fear even boredom. You need to find out exactly what is his emotion and the reason behind it.
Also the age is not appropriate for a biting behaviour, so if he is inflicting pain or injury upon himself by biting, a consultation with your doctor is recommended.
