Shoes- are they REALLY necessary?! Help with preschooler drama

Okay, so I just ordered her a bunch of seamless, footless leggings she can wear under her dresses, and am not going to worry about her feet. I will put shoes and socks in the softest options in the car, her cubby at school, and in the pack on my wheelchair. I think we are going to try the Soft Shoes for preschool. Plans are good, right?

 

Now, provided we get the all clear from the doctor, we are headed to Europe to spend Christmas with the hubby's family. We will be in Scotland, England, and then in France. Definitely not Texas weather. Do I stick with the same plan? Surely, if anything can convince her to wear warm footwear the weather in winter Scotland will do it!

Or can someone recommend anything that is more appropriate for that kind of weather?

Uggs knock-offs.

 

Don't sweat it! This will pass or morph into something more manageable when puberty hits. Just try to set a good example yourself and do whatever makes your life easier. Sensory stuff is hard to deal with. Just try to get through the best way you can and don't ever feel guilty or that you're doing a bad job. Keeping a smile on your face as you tough out those frustrating and embarrassing moments are the best thing you can do right now.

 

You might want to try OT but that wasn't too helpful here.
