[quote=Anonymous]Doesn't sound like a sensory issue to me and doesn't seem out-of-the-ordinary for a kid this age to have a tantrum about this. Mine is 5.5 and still fights me about clothes on and off. It's very normal among other kids I've seen this age. How often does he need to dress up? Can you relax the rules a little? If you go to a place of worship, I'm guessing that's the frequent time when you need him to dress up a bit. Could you relax the rules a bit and get him into something clean and neat but not necessarily "dressy"? I like the idea of having him control it by picking something out together. If it's a matter of things being uncomfortable (which I understand!), then maybe he can pick out a cute pair of dressy-looking soft pants and a soft button-up shirt. The "I don't want people to see me in it" is interesting and should be further probed -- maybe as one PP suggested, it's due to people giving him (good but annoying?) attention when he's dressed up?[/quote]
