If you have been following me for a while you will know Sunday & I have been on a journey with her clothes & not wanting to get dressed or wear certain things. However I share this to give you all hope as in my experience with time things have got better with ease. The struggles have been anything from how the seams feel in her socks to the way her school summer bow sits on her dress. I’ve even had pockets removed from clothing. As a parent it can be super stressful when you want them to wear a certain outfit (I gave up on that a long time ago) when you need to get out the door for school at a certain time or when you know these issues hold your child back from experiences you know they will enjoy and get so much out of. A quick story - Two years ago, with Sunday being the animal lover that she is, we tried to take her horse riding but the feel of the helmet was too much for her & she had a COMPLETE meltdown. With all the encouragement & even me wearing a helmet nothing could convince her (last pic). It was upsetting because I knew if she could overcome wearing the helmet she would of loved the experiance! Fast forward two years last weekend we went back to the same place and Sunday had the BEST time horse riding, helmet on and she was able to enjoy the experience that her sensory issues had held her back from doing a few years ago. Don’t get me wrong she had a staring match with the helmet for all of 10 seconds 😳🤣 I could see her little brain was ticking over making up her mind, but she popped the helmet on without a tantrum. I wish I had been able to see into the future & know we would get there one day. The tears we have both shed out of pure frustration has been immense but we got through it. Now I let her make her own mind up, I don’t push her & she decides what she wants to wear. So, if you have a child who has ‘spicy’ clothes and can’t cope with certain textures, I feel ya, I am with you. Acceptance, kindness, patience and a few deep breaths it does get easier ❤️ #sensory #sensoryissues #awareness #kindness #love #daughter #horseriding #raisingdaughters」9月1日 23時13分
