My son of 10 has a button Phobia which started when he was about 5, up until then he used to wear shirts, PJ's and play with buttons, but now he won't wear anything if he can help it with buttons, except for school, where the Jumper has to cover op the buttons asap..
The Problem I have now, is that we have a wedding to attend, 3 years ago he had to be a page boy surrounded by buttons, now he would rather not go than have to wear a suit and Shirt.. Any Ideas..
Love
Debbie

Particularly those eith the eye-shaped indent in the middle - usually pearl white. and I totally agree with the collr butotn thing! and crafts made of buttons. I hate even tyoing the word.... and the most ironic part is that I am a therapist.... yeah, someone with such an irrational and bizarre fear.... not something I tell my patients though..... this cyber connection is still not really confirming for me that others understand this.
