My ds (4) has refused to wear anything with buttons since about the age of 2, although he will wear trousers with them on. I don't know why he won't wear them, we haven't done or said anything to frighten him. I am worried now that he will be starting school in september of this year and he will need to wear polo shirts. I tried about a month ago putting some buttons of his favourite colours in a box and letting him play with them ( saw this on a website once) and he was very happy to play with these, even saying i like buttons, but as soon as i try to give him a top he screams and the usual i don't like buttons starts. Someone please help i just don't know the answer.
