Sensory Avoiders and Clothing: Tips and Tricks for Kids with Tactile Defensiveness

Any suggestions for gloves or mittens. He has an upcoming occupational appointment because we are pretty sure he has tactile defensiveness. He lives in the northwest and it does get cold there so I am looking for gloves or mittens for his little hands. He does well with layering to keep out the cold but just refuses to put anything on his hands and then becomes distressed when his hands get cold. I appreciate any suggestions.

Cotton, Silk and Fine Lenin – not rough one, are the best suited clothes for kids with sensitive skin as they are natural fabric, pleasant to touch, smooth and pliable. We must make sure that the clothes are loose fitting which is ideal for sensitive skin.

Their boys who are aged 5 are refusing to put on any clothes that have buttons. They do not want to see them or touch them. These mothers are very concerned for when school starts. The school uniforms are made up of a shirt. What can we do to help these boys accept that there are days when they have to put on a shirt?

She’s no longer itchy or wanting to go naked – the clothes are so soft; they’re made with a really high thread-count, and they don’t have the usual chemical finishes, carcinogenic dyes or heavy metals found in most clothing. My friend’s little guy is on the spectrum and watching him put on his first Beans shirt was amazing to witness… it was like the tension left his body. He wouldn’t take it off!

I always use this company for socks and undergarments. No seams and very comfortable material. http://www.smartknitkids.com/ It doesn’t look like they have girls swim suits, but maybe a compression shirt coupled with some darker colored underwear from this place might pass? Yeah, kids preference can change HOURLY depending on how much input they’re getting and how out of control they feel. I have a course on Sensory Parenting that I think you’d find quite helpful if you’re interested. Here’s the link. Enrollment is this week only! http://www.sensoryparenting101.com

She can’t tolerate tight clothing, sleeves that wrinkle, collars, waist bands or seams. We have just recently identified her challenges, and I’m new to this. This past summer, she was willing to wear a bathing suit, but now the one she like this summer is now unbearable. Is this common for kids with TD? Do their preferences become more narrow?

So good to hear! Yes, consistency is hard, but sure seems to be worth it!
