Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hello All, My daughter (6 yrs. old) has sensory issues dealing with her hair touching her ears or neck. For this reason I have to braid it and then pull the braids back so that they don't droop and brush against her ears. Her neck is less sensitive because all the gathered braids twisted into one ponytail have always hung down on her back and touched her neck in spite of her discomfort. Therefore she has built up some tolerance for this. I am wondering how I can help her overcome this sensitivity to her hair touching her ears. I have tried repeatedly to loosen the braids and let them lightly touch her ears, but then she constantly messes with them until she becomes overwhelmed and anxious. Has anyone else had this situation? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
