When Clothes Feel Wrong

A tag, a seam, or a fabric is bothering my skin.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.

1. Sometimes my clothes bother me. A tag scratches. A seam presses. A sleeve feels wrong.

2. For my skin, small things can feel big. A tiny tag can feel like sandpaper.

Scratchy tags, bumpy seams, tight cuffs, itchy fabric.

3. My skin is not being silly. Some bodies feel textures more strongly. My feeling is real information.

4. I can do something about it.

5. I can use words for it too.

6. Comfy clothes exist for me. Once the scratchy thing is fixed, my skin relaxes — and I can think about better things.
