We had almost the exact same situation with my son when he was 7 (8? don’t remember). He wanted a “grim reaper” costume. One afternoon, we sent him upstairs to change into something other than what he was wearing. 20 minutes later, he’s still sitting on a step halfway up to his room. We asked him why he hadn’t gotten changed yet. The answer: I can’t go to my room. I’m scared of my costume.
