Last night she got hysterical, backing into a corner, crying uncontrollably and looked generally scared about the idea of having to wear trousers.
I've noticed she keeps rolling them up, along with her sleeves if they're long, but last night was very unusual for her and I felt really mean having to put them on her with help from dh. It was a real struggle and you could tell she was upset all evening.
This morning she went to playgroup trouser less, in her pants, top, jumper and shoes. Once she got there she felt rather embarrassed (only 2 other kids their but still felt a wolly) and put them on.
I'm concerned this is a sensory thing and really just don't know how to deal with it. It's way too cold to have no tights or trousers on but she gets hysterical over them. She's also rather obsessed with shoes, wants to wear them to bed, in the house, everywhere and gets really distressed when see can't.
How do you know if it's just a funny phase or something more?
Sorry for the rant, I'm at a loss as to what to do and dreading getting my her up and dressed tomorrow!
