XP: Co sleeping, colder temps, drafty house
"-L." wrote in
oups.com: 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. lee -- Question with boldness even the existence of god; because if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. - Thomas Jefferson |

"enigma" wrote in message 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' -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

enigma wrote: 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? 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. 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. lee Thanks for the info. -L. |

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. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..
