I'm saying from my experience my niece and her kid could not tolerate cloths constantly stripped off..she.hand the child over to nursery in her knickers that's is not normal..maybe its Fearn and her parenting skills but that child is.not a brat its her fault its the mothers fault..my friend kid as just been diagnosed at 14 years she highly function autism she had these traits as well.
Yes I know where your coming from I have 2 children on the spectrum and they both had sensory issues including hating having their hair cut and I also had to be very careful buying clothes.
They lived in jogging pants and loose cotton tops and were very particular about the clothing they could basically tolerate.
So I don't think you were being unreasonable in thinking that was a possibility.
I also have a daughter the same age as Sunday and my daughter is a highly sensitive child this also involves (in her case) having some sensory issues.
She hates having her hair brushed for example is also pretty particular about her clothing has sensitive hearing and when she was younger also used to regularly strip off and like being naked (Although this was in the home).
I think it is possible that Sunday is also a highly sensitive child and those children understand a lot and internalise the feelings of the people around them and are very intuitive.
If Ferne hasn't picked up on this then she really should because you can't respond in a superficial way with these children they understand a lot especially in a non verbal sense.
Whatever is going on with Ferne regarding parenting having struggles with lack of discipline or routine then she really needs to sort that out asap.
She may very well love her daughter and mean well but that's not good enough Sunday will need to have her mother's attention if she is to thrive?
Others can only do so much if she doesn't give Sunday attention she will feel it acutely and might even develop abandonment issues in the future?
Also Sunday will probably need to be taught some form of socialisation and the skills required to learn and mingle with other children.
All I can say is that I really hope Sunday is in nursery and gets to mix with other children.
Ideally I think Ferne should take some parenting classes (there is no shame in admitting that you need a helping hand or that you have more to learn as a parent) I took them and found them very useful. (As recommended by my health visitor when I had quite bad pnd and was struggling myself).
Does Ferne not have a health visitor or anyone else that could take an objective look at Sunday and her needs and offer some suggestions?
I understand from reading on here that it could be a case of (probably unintentional) neglect and that makes me feel a bit sad.
I don't agree with some of her decisions regarding parenting but then again I'm not her and I don't live her life?
I don't agree with over sharing (and exposing) kids on a TV program or on the gram but I presume that that's the life Ferne has and maybe what she's got used to?
Or maybe she's just immature and has been mollycoddled all her life herself?
I don't know but I just hope that she can start to get her priorities right because the older Sunday gets the more difficult it is to reverse bad parenting choices?
I hope for her daughter's sake she wakes up to this before it's too late.
