[quote=Anonymous]Our 4.5yo DS is generally a sweet, agreeable kid, we have no behavioral issues whatsoever. But we have been massively struggling with clothing lately. For the most part, we "pick our battles" and just let him wear what he wants (sweats, t-shirts, jeans, mismatching, whatever.) However, for occasions that call for dressier attire, things are going off the rails. He flat out refuses to wear anything like khakis and collared shirts. He tantrums, screams, and totally loses it. This has been happening for the past six months or so. When we discuss it with him at times outside the heat of the moment, he claims it's because he "doesn't want anybody to see me in them," which just sounds ridiculous to us. We've tried humor, bribery, physically forcing him in clothes, letting him pick from a selection of dressier clothes .... we are at a loss here. We have a wedding coming up, lots of mandatory dressy days. Anyone BTDT? What can we do here? Thanks![/quote]
