Re: Re: My duaghter won't wear shoes any ideas

June 4, 2009

Hi

thanks for that, I might try the rice bin! My older daughter who is

ASD/adhd has said that when she gets a 'hole' she needs to jump on it, and this

can work sometimes, it is just exhausting to listen to the constant crying!

Even crocs are a problem at the moment although she is ok whilst in the

back pack it is just when she walks on them!

Good Luck!

or have any suggestions, at home or if we stop somewhere the first thing she

does is take her shoes and socks off and usually her trousers too! Â

My Gracie did this too, it was horrible, we tried everything, she literally went

Hi Theresa

Thanks for that, Mimi is almost three, I have realised that some of the

irritation may be caused by socks so I only have soft cotton ones with little

or no seams, I will do a websearch on robeez as I have never heard of them,

she currently wears leather ones but whenever we stop they are off in a

flash, her crocs are tolerated a little better but she cannot wear socks with

them and they get grit in really easily so are off every few steps! She

walked home from school yesterday bare feet as I could not cope with the

tears and noise associated with, she was quiet as a mouse, despite there being

gravel and all sorts to cross! No rhyme or reason with my two!!

Now at almost 6 she still takes her shoes off sometimes, especially when

she

is frustrated or mad, but not because they hurt her or are uncomfortable.

We

have some Jane crocs that she seems to like and she will actually keep

them on in the house for awhile too, where most other shoes will come off

as

soon as we get in the house.

If your daughter is young enough for the Robeez style shoes, I highly

recommend them. They were a lifesaver for us!

How old is she?

My 5 year old (almost 6) has always had a real hard time with shoes. I can't

even tell you how many pairs of shoes we've been though and her taking them

off constantly.

When she was younger we had great success with Robeez or any similar type

shoe. We often purchased them online via ebay since they are pretty pricey.

When we got to the end of the sizes they provide I found someone (ebay

seller) who made their own and ordered a pair in a bit bigger size and even

had her name embroidered on them.

Then she finally understood that she needed to leave her shoes on and as

long as they weren't totally uncomfortable, she usually did. We went through

trial and error on types of socks too, to make sure it wasn't the socks that

were bothering her, and some types do we found.

Now at almost 6 she still takes her shoes off sometimes, especially when she

is frustrated or mad, but not because they hurt her or are uncomfortable. We

have some Jane crocs that she seems to like and she will actually keep

them on in the house for awhile too, where most other shoes will come off as

soon as we get in the house.

If your daughter is young enough for the Robeez style shoes, I highly

recommend them. They were a lifesaver for us!
