My 5 year old used to often put his hands in his mouth, mostly in new situations or when he was asked to do something challenging I think. But about 2 months ago, he started doing it all the time, regardless of the situation. His classmates don't want to be around him. His teacher is always telling him to wash his hands or put hand sanitizer on them. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have 4 years old under the spectrum. Since he was two years old he is humping pillows whenever the opportunity comes a home. He does not do such thing at daycare, but whenever he comes home from daycare, he eats and then start humping pillow on the bed. I saw he has erection. Is this normal?. Usually he does that for over 30 minutes. I do really need to know if anybody saw something like this in the past.
My now 18 year old used to hump when he was younger. Thankfully, he was able to overcome that due to occupational therapy.
My son will do this strange behavior where he goes in his room, closes the door, he doesn't want anyone watching and he'll pile up a bunch of blankets on his bed lay on top of the pile of blankets and start very rapidly humping almost seizure like! He humps like this once a day! What is this?

My son is almost 3, he has not been officially diagnosed yet. He bounces in crib all the time, he's already destroyed a mattress and 2 crib springs. Has anyone else gone thru this before? Idk what to do. I've been trying to look up toddler beds and anything else that could help. Any advise?
buy him a personal indoor trampoline for xmas. bouncing is a sensory soothing mechanism for them and they are usually used in physical therapy
I have a bouncer as well 🐎
My 4.5 year old son is extremely picky when it comes to food. He only eats a handful of things such as Goldfish(only the coloured ones) , chips, Froot Loops. He is constantly wanting to dump the bags out and eat off the floor. He finds creative ways to distract us just to do this. Sometimes he doesn’t even want to eat it, just wants to dump. Anyone else dealt with this or have insight into why? It is extremely frustrating for me, let alone the cost and food waste.
My son use to dump food that he didn't like or want. Not food that he likes.
Do you teach how to shake hands? I’m teaching to ask before hugging someone.
I know to teach how to do chores, self care, and how to be polite. I’m not teaching social skills specifically right now.
Yes she’s 7. I’m just trying to get through her morning routine and getting her to brush her teeth and eat her cereal with a spoon.

My daughter has to have her umbrella and asks if it’s going to rain every morning before school. We live in Oklahoma and she has her own tornado kit with all the things she needs to have in case of a tornado.
Are your kids weather aware?
My almost 5 years old son absolutely loves the rain, and he dances in it, wellies on jump, jump, jump, jumping in all the puddles.
My daughter went through a similar trial, she would ONLY ONLY drink from one bottle and would refuse to drink from anything else. My advice is that you find one with similar texture, size, material to… read more
