Re: Switch from tights to bike shorts

[Guest guest]

Will she wear soft cotton shorts instead? Ones made out of t-shirt

material or light-weight woven cotton? My daughter wore them under her

dresses for years.

The bike shorts I am using are real light weight cotton knit. I have

tried them loose and tighter fitting like tights, to no avail. Not

sure why she doesn't like them unless it's the fact that there's

something around her waist. But wouldn't you think the waistband of

the tights was the same?

Could it be that she doesn't like the feeling of the end of the shorts around

her legs? Maybe it feels weird to have only part of the leg covered and not the

whole leg. Would she wear a skort (combination shorts and skirt) and top

instead of a dress. I know my dd loved skorts but she didn't have a problem

with bike shorts under a skirt either. Just a thought.

Have you tried the lycra type of bike shorts? Or dance stuff? Maybe

that's more like tights?

Maybe she doesn't like the way it looks. When I was real little I

thought I HAD to ALWAYS have tights/hose with a dress to look right.

My mother tried to tell me that it was okay in the summer, I thought

she was nuts. I also had dark hairy legs that I was always insecure

about, I felt the tights/hose didn't show it as much.

Yeah Rosie too, assembles outstandingly goofy getups and doesn't care

about stains, rips, or sizes, and thinks she is beeeeautiful (which

of course she is). For the longest time every piece had to be pink,

but recently red and purple have become acceptable.. and then there's

one green dress she adores. Almost always dresses.

My daughter, who is being evaluated for Aspergers, wears the same thing

everyday. I have a hard time getting her to bathe or wear deodorant, etc.

She even sleeps in the outfit....it is always old T-shirts and athletic

shorts, because they are soft. I have a hard time washing it because it

stresses her out to wear something else when it is in the laundry. She does

wear a dress for church, but that is it...she changes back as soon as we get

home. When she was little, it was a ballet dress everyday, then later,

dress up clothes Gwen

My daughter since she was old enough to let me know what she wanted

to wear, it has always been cotton pants and shirts. She refuses to

wear anything other than that. She hates the feeling of jeans, or

that other material that is light weight and feels scratchy. She

doesn't like Capre's cause she doesn't like that it doesn't go all

the way down, but she will deal with shorts. There are many things

that bother her. One of her diagnosis is SID, Scensory Interaction

Disorder which is past down by a parent ( myself) I have learned to

deal with it, but I much prefer not to wear jeans or anything that

irritates my skin. Everything has to be soft for her. She rather wear

really thick socks. This has been going on at least since 2yrs old

and she is now 10. We had to do pictures one day and I put her in

pants. She was out of them as soon as her shots were over. She

couldn't tolerate it. Alot of people don't understand and wishes to

see her in cuter things, but I let her wear what she wants. She needs

a sence of Individuality. She doesn't like people to hug her, or to

put their arms around her. She has only hugged my husband and I

willingly since a toddler to now. She doesn't like the feel of anyone

touching her. She is now wearing training bra's and this is very

difficult for her. She is tolerating them, understanding that is

required when you turn into a lady. My daughter is as tall as I am,

so must people don't realize she is only 10yrs old. She is now 5'3.

She doesn't speak well and has a hard time describing how she feels

or what she wants to say, Eventually she just ends up saying,

nevermind I lost it. Cause it is such a struggle for her to find the

words to describe what she wants. It has been a long road with

Therapy and EIP since she was 2yrs. Right now she is doing OT, ST and

Vision Therapy. The one I seeing doing the least amount is Speech.

Strangely. Will share more soon.....

Sincerely

Shay

This may be silly -- but what about a bathing suit bottom -- the brief

style? It would fit like undies but not look like undies.

OK, I can smile at the visual of the Dora costume. I know we want them

to be " socially appropriate " , but it does make me smile at times when

they're just sweet like that and not into cool beyond their years like

my older DD was at that age.

I don't think that's silly. Actually that sounds like a great idea
