Hi,
I’m looking for some tips for my tricky son to get him dressed and leave the house. He does it for everyone else but me and his dad, except when it’s football. He’ll get dressed for that. I’ve tried letting him choose his outfit, distracting him, forcing it on, leaving without him etc, and nothing works. He’s fussy with clothes and textures, but for others will wear them. He initially hides and smiles as it’s a game. I try to be firm but he ends up crying and taking the clothes off. I’m a SAHM with a 6 month old too, and it feels like we spend all of our time at home as my 2.5 year old is so tricky to manage. He’s been hypersensitive since he was born, and I don’t think he was ADHD nor autism. He certainly has traits of both but I think he’s just being a determined and clever child. I think pre-school will help but am slightly nervous for how we’ll get there on time. I’d get him dressed in the car if I could but he currently won’t even put his nappy on and I think it’ll be too hard to do with him he prams and car seats in the car too
I’m so tired and overstimulated from breastfeeding and being at home with two. Any tips would be appreciated as this has been going on for a long time now
