[QUOTE="idohope, post: 372503, member: 7722"] MY difficult child (female) refuses to wear underwear. It is likely a sensory issue. In discussing this with therapist she asked me if difficult child is any immediate danger from not wearing underwear and the answer was no and we gave up on that battle. difficult child accepts that underwear must be worn when clothes shopping. Our family was under such seige we could not battle about this every day. It was not easy for me to put this aside. I worry that she will expose herself accidently or that as she gets older if this becomes known that it will be sending a message that she does not mean. But in working with the therapist I came to accept that there were more important issues that we needed to focus on first. I think the issue with picking battles is that just because we have accepted no underwear now it does not mean that we will never revisit that decision or that difficult child will never wear underwear. As she becomes older or if medical issuses (rash/yeast infections) arise then we will re-evaluate. It does mean that we need to stablize our home life before we can tackle underwear. My difficult child also refuses therapy but husband and I have have gone to figure out strategies for dealing with difficult child and the behaviors. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
