[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 488338, member: 6546"] "Big Picture Issue" - I absolutely agree! in my humble opinion - some clothing issues should be pretty easy for a parent to spot: 'itchy sweaters', 'scratchy tags', 'tight pants'...while other sensory things will be tougher to see (doesn't like black shirts, polyester blends are icky, that shirt smells funny, etc) but if they can be identified....then changing those things to give the child more comfort should help in a big way... but if Mom has gone through 15 pairs of pants in a single morning trying to find something the child will wear - I think it's time to look beyond the pants (even if the child is still saying "pants"). It makes me wonder: What was the child wearing before it was time to get ready for school? Pajama pants? Jammies with footies? Sweats? Shorts? Would it be OK to just keep that on? Will the child wear the offending pants on non-school days? Will the child wear the pants if another adult besides Mom helps put them on? Will the child wear them if he puts them on himself? Does this only happen on school mornings? or every morning? Does the child want more control over his routine? Does he feel like he's being "rushed" and "forced" into school clothes before he's ready? Is Mom behaving in a way that makes the child feel anxious? (Maybe she is rushed, didn't have her coffee yet, not a morning person, etc) And, it may very well be sensory issues on top of something else: anxiety, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), etc It's hard to know without thoroughly investigating...
