We are having such a hard time with DS7. It started a few months ago with pants/socks feeling a bit uncomfortable to him but was never a big deal. It has grown into a huge monster now, with huge tantrums and crying episodes daily, whenever he has to get dressed for school/bed/clubs etc. It'll start with his socks not being right so we fix them but then moves onto trousers, collars, sleeves, pockets and now his bed, pillow, the couch....
He wriggles like crazy, cries, whines, moans and it's just unbearable.
We've tried so many ways to try and help him. Letting him pick clothes, listening to him, validating his feelings but it's so hard to deal with.
He was a very easy going, happy boy up until now and I think the suddenness of this is another reason it's hard to deal with.
I've spoken to his teacher and he's fine at school.
Just wondering if anyone else has been through this and has any advice/tips? It's so exhausting for the whole family! Thank you
