Are you talking "footies" or pj tops and bottoms? If you can get him in tops/bottoms, there are lots of sets out there that don't look like PJ's you could get away with for now. Maybe gradually introduce sweats and comfy, stretchy pieces.
If he's into footies, that's a toughie :) Have you tried to arrange for an activity that you know he'd love to participate in - and tell him that it's against the rules to attend in pajamas? A reward system might work (I did that potty training my oldest who is no 15!). Make a chart and for each day he wears "clothes" check off the day and when the chart is full, he gets a treat.
If all else fails, you could consult your pediatrician - chances are, he's going to grow out of it (I had thumb sucking battles, pooping on the potty wars and they always seemed to get past them). Maybe there's something physically or emotionally bothering him that is causing him to "cling" to the idea of wearing PJ's versus clothes.
Good luck, I know this kind of thing is frustrating - most times, it's all about control (they want some!). I would bet that sooner rather than later, he's going to get tired of the PJ thing :) |
