Default XP: Co sleeping, colder temps, drafty house

This was totally DS until 9 mos, but he wouldn't wear long
sleepers at all because he was apparently too hot. Nothing
footed, ever, because his feet are too big (He now wears a
10.5 shoe at 2 3/4 years old).


yeah, that's about what Boo's were at that age. the good news
is his feet haven't grown much in the past year (between 5 &
6)...

How do you determine
"sensory issues"? DS hates seams, tags and anything
binding. He won't wear a coat with a hood because of the
hood's weight. He sometimes seems to like to
self-stimulate by break dancing, bouncing himself off the
floor, couch or bed or "fake" bopping himself on the head.
I sometimes wonder if he has SID to some extent.


sounds possible. in many cases it gets better as the kids
learn better coping mechanisms. how upset do seams & tags make
him? grumpy or total meltdown, day-is-ruined?
if he does a lot of bumping into things & asking to be held
tightly, that's sensory seeking. the tags & seams is sensory
avoiding. and, yes, it's possible to be both.
take a look at The Out-of-Sync Child & see if that fits him
at all. i think most kids, especially toddlers, have *some*
sensoty things going on. i also think most kids outgrow the
"issues" part as they learn ways to deal with the irritants.

I think this is right. Luke had a few things when he was younger. Like it
might take him 15 times of trying to get his shoes and socks on because the
seam in the sock was bugging him or something. He refused to wear various
clothes or shoes etc. He's much much better now. Partly because we've
learned what works and what doesn't but he just outgrew some of it. He
still does a lot of stomping, running, physical type sensory stuff. Well
within the range of normal but more then a lot of kids. Maybe an
overabundance of 'boy'

Get an evaluation by an occupational therapist who specializes in
sensory processing disorder.

You can search for an OT near you he

Oh, no. Just saying "here, here" and holding the tag until I cut it
off. he also wiggles if the seams or eleastic is a bit tight on his
skin. Pants with elastic cuffs are the bottom, like sweats bug him a
lot - he constantly pulls them down when they ride up.

tightly, that's sensory seeking. the tags & seams is sensory

Thanks for the info. At what age do they do the asssessment? He may
still be too young.

My grandson was assessed at 18 months.

Early intervention is *free* or low cost, so if one of these OTs is on
the early intervention list, you can have them evaluate him. Some
OTs in early intervention are not very good though, so a private one
may be the way to go.
