How to Get Your Child Dressed - Advice to Parents
Getting a child or a toddler dressed can sometimes be an ordeal
. This article offer some tips to help carers and parents make this activity smooth and free from conflict.Should a parent or carer give the child choices regarding what to wear?
No, this is not a good idea. The child should not be the one in charge who makes the decisions. If they start thinking that they are the ones who lead, then you will have potential problems on your hands as they will begin trying to take controls in all circumstances and situations. You need to show the child that dressing is not an activity that has options. If you don't they will be left feeling uncertain. It can be helpful to prepare what your child is going to wear the night before. You can tell them what that they'll be wearing and where they'll be going. This will help them be prepared and ready in the morning for getting dressed. They may even look forward to it too.
How about older children?
With older children it is reasonable to allow them a little say in what they wear. However their decision making ability is still very basic and you may find them making inappropriate decisions, such as choosing summer clothes to wear in winter. A better idea is to select some outfits that are appropriate and allow them to choose from these.
Should one listen to children's complaints about the items you pick for them to wear?
Yes, there may be a good reason why a child is unhappy to wear an item. It may be too tight or itchy. Be attentive and aware how items of clothing affect your child and notice any discomfort.I hope this article has helped you find success in getting your child dressed without disruption or conflict.
