Lightly scold and immediately ignore them when they are biting you. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement.

Also, your kitten may be teething, so will be biting and chewing everything, no matter what you say or do. It is best to use soft toys, scrunched up paper balls, cardboard and even leather instead of your hands. These materials are soft and help relieve some discomfort in the kitten's gums.
