clothes or not?????
| Tue, 02-24-2004 - 10:18am |
I am at my wits end with my 5 year old daughter.She wants to be wearing my big shirts all the time to be ''comfy''her words not mine--the problem is when we get her dressed every morning for school in'real'clothes she pitches a fit--every single morning its like this.Blue jeans are the worst,you would think by the way she acts they are a form of punishment or something.Everything fits,nothing is to tight she just hates clothes and it is driving me crazy.What can I do?HELP!It might sound silly but it is a real problem.


Oh have I been through this,, but I also got tags bothered her, the lines in the socks, bothered her,, she only had 2 pair of underwear that she liked It's very frustrating,,, try this,,
let her pick out her clothes for school the night before,, tell her they MUST be her own clothes but she can pick them out,, you have to be willing to not care if they don't match or don't go with each other,, I after 3 kids just don't care as much as I did w/ my 1st,, I mean my 1st her barrets would match her socks, but come on who really pays attention to that?
If that will kill you, try to put her clothes away together in her drawers, that way if she pulls out a pair of pants hopefully she will then grab the shirt right next to it that goes with it!
Some special clothes that she might want to wear all the time? Like favorite cartoon or theme?
That might get her interested in wearing her own "special" clothes.
Good luck.

I'm sorry that your DD is SO fussy, picky whatever you'd like to call it...about her clothes. Have you talked to a Doctor about it? Maybe it's a sensory thing or maybe she itches in certain clothing? If she is having such a hard time with wearing the clothes maybe it could be something like that- or has she always had this problem? Did it START whe she began school? Sometimes kids will bring out new tricks to stay away from something they don't want to do? I wish I could help... but I don't don't have experience with this. I do know people who have kids with SID (sensory intergration disorder) and they have problems with clothing as well...not everything but some don't like it wet or tight etc. Just a thought Good Luck Shelley
