My problem with promoted influence of ASMR Eating on children.


Does anyone else have this problem?I have a 13 year old, and nieces who are attached to their phone. I constantly tell her to chew with her mouth closed, and to take smaller bites. One of her cousins has a bad relationship with food, and will over eat.I sat down and watched a few of these ASMR videos with her (she is sensory and enjoys certain sounds). At first, I thought not much of it. Then I started watching more, and I noticed few terrible habits it promotes.Over eating: They will display a vast amount of food. I’m talking way more than one person needs in a sitting. And they will eat the majority of it.Emphasize sound: The whole point of it is sound, they chew with their mouth full to get that lip smacking slush sound out of it. My daughter likes to recreate the sound at the dinner table, and I have to constantly tell her that is not a good sound to make when eating dinner. One day when she decides to go to someone’s house for dinner, I don’t want her feeling watched or uncomfortable.Huge bites: Again, they have so much food that they need to get through it in a certain amount of time. They will take huge bites and barely chew to get through it.Skinny: Most of these people are so skinny! My niece who has a weight issue might look at this and think, “These people are skinny, why can’t I be allowed to eat that much?” Granted, they may work out before this massive meal. They never address that, so it is unknown.I had problems with food when I was young, which later in life put me in the hospital because I couldn’t eat for 3 days. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in my stomach. I live a life of constant nausea now. Any advice on how bringing this subject up with my daughter, and nieces without sounding like a paranoid mother? What are your thoughts as parents? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2VYxplx
