This goes for all children. You’re more likely to have good results when they think it was their idea. If your child has sensory issues, clothing is a major part of their day. Don’t force the cute outfits if that’s not what they feel best in. cotton shorts, shirts with no tags, or the same hoodie with a dinosaur on it every day, whatever it may be, let your child wear what they feel best in. The cute outfit isn’t worth the fidgeting.
The same goes for lunch boxes and backpacks, give them options and let them pick out their back-to-school gear. I cannot tell you how many faces I have seen light up when we tell them how cool their backpack is and when they want to come to show off their cool gear they will be excited about coming to school!
