The most likely explanation for this reaction is a tactile sensitivity or defensiveness, a form of sensory integration problem. It would be worthwhile for his parents to speak with an Occupational Therapsit to determine if an evaluation is in order. Many young children resist initially when they are confined to highchairs or car seats, but most adapt to the situation after a while. Children who may display sensory integration problems continue to feel uncomforatble with such restraints.
