[quote=Anonymous]This sounds like you need a behavioral coach and an evaluation for a possible sensory disorder. The poor kid does not want to be like this, but clearly there is something about clothing that is distressing to his body sense. Start with an occupational therapist who has expertise in sensory processing disorders. Meanwhile, act out getting ready for the day with his stuffed animals. Pretend one is the mommy and one is the child and act out the parts with him. See if you can get him to have the child say what it is thinking or feeling. You pretend to be the child animal and offer two choices, like the animal is too tired to get dressed or it doesn’t like the way the shirt feels. See if he picks one. I can assure you that he is not doing this on purpose. Children want to please adults and his emotional overload in this is not pleasant. Good for you for trying to find a solution to help him.[/quote]
