[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 568982, member: 3907"] I agree with Busywend abotu sensory integration disorder. If the issue is isolated to when your daughter is getting dressed, then it may be a tactile issue. Fabric types, labels in clothes, seams that press into her skin -- all of those could set her off. At 3, she doesn't yet have the cognitive skill to express to you what's bothering her so you might have to experiment. I have Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), as do 4 of my children. Here are a few things that have worked for us: seamless socks, or turning seamed socks inside out so that the seams don't make contact with your toes clothing with the label printed directly on the fabric rather than on a separate, sewn in tag undershirts and long johns in very soft fabric worn against the skin, then regular clothes on top. For warmer weather, dance tights and bodysuits can perform the same function avoiding clothes for exposed seams and raw edges that will rub and be uncomfortable polar fleece washing everything with fabric softener AND dryer sheets knit rather than woven fabric, especially for garments worn directly against the skin. Perhaps some of these items will suit your daughter as well. Experiment until you find what works. [/QUOTE]
