Does your child avoid certain clothes, fabrics, or textures?
For many children, new sensations can feel overwhelming at first. Instead of expecting immediate change, it's often more helpful to introduce new textures gradually while celebrating small successes along the way. Giving children choices and allowing them to explore at their own pace can help build confidence over time.
For example, a child who doesn't like wearing a new sweater might first touch the fabric, then wear it for a minute, and slowly increase that time over several days. Small, positive experiences often lead to lasting progress.
