I thought my 6-year-old was just defiant and throwing tantrums when it was time to get dressed—especially in the winter. As it turns out she has sensory processing disorder. Here's how I'm helping her deal with it.
One of my three kids has a much harder time than her siblings getting ready in the morning. Every transitional step from bed to breakfast to teeth brushing feels weighted. It's a struggle to keep my 6-year-old daughter focused. And when it's time to get dressed, it’s difficult to find the right angle that will help my daughter put clothes on her body.
Without the help of learned coping skills or the assistance of an adult or parent, a child who is flooded with these mixed signals is prone to outbursts, crying, hitting, and a loss of control as they try to gain it back. But there are ways to help your kid through their struggles with SPD. Dr. Bloom, who also has a child with sensory issues, says kids generally like to have choices, and are typically able to choose between a few shirts when given the option. But if a kid can't handle wearing any type of shirt then that could signal something more is going on. Other complaints about clothing not feeling right, sounds being too loud, or touch being too much are also signs to look out for.
