Its been about 6 months now where my eldest (6yo) has not been in school and will not wear anything more than her pants.
Before reaching the point of writing this, i feel like we have tried everything, from incentives, to buying as many soft clothes as possible to even suggesting to wear swimwear. We quite literally are stuck! stuck at home all the time because there's no where you can take a child that is literally in pants without the world staring at you and probably getting into some kind of trouble through a Karen reporting you. Apologies i digress.
Is there anyone else going through the same troubles that i am?
I try on occasion to drop into a conversation softly about the idea of just wearing some shorts, sometimes received well but the truth is we never really get to the point where shorts are worn.
I feel in my mind now she may view putting clothes on as a weakness, she currently has her way, there's no way we can take her to school as she is. Mum is working hard in the background to get more support too. I would love to be able to get her back outside riding her bike or playing football or just even going to the park.
It's started to effect her younger sister (4yo) she's coming up to going to school and she's realised that if older sister doesn't go to school then why should she have to currently go to preschool. I'm doing my best to manage the situation but I'm definitely starting to run out of new ideas.
More than anything id like to know I'm not alone with this.
