Getting dressed can look like a simple task… until you realize how much regulation it really takes. For 10 year olds, “I don’t know what to wear” isn’t about indecision it’s about tuning in to how their body feels. Textures, temperature, body changes, and peer awareness all light up different parts of the nervous system. When sensory input and emotions collide, choosing clothes becomes a form of self-awareness practice. They’re learning to notice: What feels comfortable? What feels like me? Instead of rushing or labeling it as “picky,” slow it down. This is where confidence starts by helping them listen to their body and trust what feels right. 🧠 Want more ways to support your child’s growing nervous system?
