My 14 y.o daughter hates the warmer weather especially after Winter.
We understand she doesn't like the bright light (like everyone else) so we will give her sunglasses and a hat. When we go on dog walks, or go out, she will not wear any sun cream (she is very sensitive to sticky things being put on her). She has told me she wants to wear it and doesn't want to get burnt but she cannot tolerate it. We have tried many different ones including non-sticky ones and spray ones but she just won't put it on.
Her behaviour completely changes during the summer... She becomes more emotional, angry and upset because she feels like she can't join in with us as a family and feels like she's letting us down. She also wants to go swimming with us but can't. (She's never liked getting wet). Some days she will sit outside in the shade, but if she gets splashed by water she will become aggressive. (After times like this she will not come outside).
One other problem is clothing... She will be sweating in the same clothes every day. All year round she will wear the same black joggers, same trainers, same black socks, and similar black hoodies. She will wear similar clothes when I wash them but then puts them back on after.
Last year the emergency services were being called round this time of year by public because she was a danger to herself and others at times. I don't want this to happen again. Any advice for when the hot summer comes? How do you guys cope?
I'm new to this so please no hate...
Thanks x
