My nephew is quite a fussy boy. For food, he would not touch vegetables (which is common for kids) and even fruits (he only takes apples and dark grapes). For clothes, he must feel comfy in his pants, otherwise no matter how nice a pair of pants is, he would never wear it, ever. His mom was exasperated as there were many pairs of pants which went to cold storage because the boy gives the excuses - "it's too tight", "it's not nice", "it's too long", "it's too thick" etc... although it may be none of the above.
Next, for hair, he would not let any barber cut his hair. He lets only one hairdresser cut his hair since he was like 2 years old. Other indian or malay barber or anyone could not even hope to touch his hair, because he will wail (when he was a toddler) and complain (when he was 2-3 years old) or go on strike if anyone except Aunty May touches his hair. She is the only neighbourhood lady hairdresser whom he likes, no one else. With the lady boss' instructions, he would not even dare to move or try to be funny. He would always smile to her sweetly and timidly let her cut his hair. This is vastly different behaviour than his norm, believe me. I am so amazed only this lady boss can control him. Haha.
One of my sons is the same way. He takes a lot of extra patience and understanding, but he's a wonderful kid! ^_^ I'm sure your nephew is the same!
