I know screen time isn’t the best but my nonverbal son (11) used to love watching peppa pig 2 years ago and nursery songs but now he’s consumed with just watching people eat. There’s a particular creator who is just making repulsive sounds eating. I’ve taken away his tablet but he’s figured out safari. Some people say asmr is good for people on the spectrum but now he’s not even into people talking as so much. Can someone tell me the benefits of asmr?
Not sure I can fully ban the device it is helpful since I have a toddler and a busy working mom. We do play too but something about the asmr has his mesmerized.

My 23 month old keeps crying uncontrollably. I just put her down to sleep and she was crying so much up she was heaving. Earlier this week she had a fever and it was 100.3 nothing too crazy thank goodness. Still worrisome. After that fever broke I noticed she seems still irritated, cranky and moody. She will just burst into tears over and over. She already had a hitting problem so now it’s worse while she’s crying she’s hitting. I’m wondering if this a product from the fever and she’s still sick, is it terrible twos coming. I’m worried there’s something else and she can’t tell me.

My 19 month old likes to scratch and bite me. I don’t know where she got this from. I assume she’s attention seeking. If I firmly tell her to stop she continues to do it. Ignoring also doesn’t help. What can I do? I also notice she does this more during bed time before I put her in the crib. I’m so over this behavior.

So I was watching a TikTok, and this influencer said that she would never do an ad for free. She said that as a micro influencer she still can get thousands of dollars and I felt a bit weird about all the effort I put on influencer for free products. I’m very grateful and a handful of products I have received have been worth it ($75+) I wanted to know do you guys ever feel like we are doing too much? Are we being used? Are they getting over on us? Ugh the influencers are lucky but at the same time I don’t have the time she has so I guess? 🥲
