[QUOTE="totoro, post: 99682, member: 3155"] N has to wear certain shoes... her little froggie boots in the summer... sometimes I can talk her out of it... not always. Who cares. I have given up on her teachers comments. Now it is the gloves... no go. Will not wear them. it was in the 20's when she went to school this morning. So we stick them in her pockets of her jacket. We have tried the idiot mits, with the string every kind. NO.... She will tuck her hand up in her jacket... We have battles over all kinds of clothes I fight with them until I know it is a real issue... and then I ease up. I still try to get them to, but I don't force them. K will not want to go to her therapist at times and what we do for that situation, is I either let her sit in the waiting room and I talk, or she sits in the car with husband. Or if she is that bad I leave her home if husband is home... If I have no options and someone is in the waiting room, I make her come in... what is the worst that is going to happen??? She has destroyed her office a few times... so what. If you leave him with- husband what is going to happen??? they will figure it out. Some battles work themselves out. We choose our battles, but there is also compromise, we don't revolve our world around them... they will get over a rage. For clothing it is usually sensory... that affects their whole being, mental and physical... I try to make my battles really count. If my child is really in distress, why push them. If they just want something their way... maybe. Maybe not... Good luck [/QUOTE]
