I would love it if my child could start wearing his own clothes but it takes too much time for me to implement it and in the end I am the one putting clothes on for him, because I always have a schedule to stick to.
Your child will indeed take longer if you give him the opportunity to dress himself rather than if you do it for him and sometimes it feels like there isn’t enough time for that. You have two choices, you can start the dressing activity earlier or you can do it for him. The second option means, you will get a quick solution for a short period of time, but as the child gets older and the child’s desire to do many things himself appears, then getting toktotoslot dressed can become a source of conflict that will slow you down too.
The best advice is, if you can’t start early then provide several opportunities when you have free time to show your child something simple in terms of dressing. Show him very clearly or perhaps repeat a step a few times and then let him try it. Gently encourage him to try some steps on his own.
Before you know it, he will want to do all these steps himself. Little by little he will learn and enjoy dressing independently. A word of warning, don’t praise him excessively for his every action or even lose your temper when he doesn’t want to try. When you have a little time, explain to him that you will help him get dressed this time because you have to go somewhere soon.
I have spent a lot of time trying to help my son dress himself and he seems to be making good progress and seems genuinely happy once he is able to put his own shoes on. When I went back to work, the person looking after him did everything for him and now he is starting to refuse to do things himself. When I asked him to put on shoes because we were going out, he would just raise his foot at me and say “mom put it on”.
This is why it is very important for everyone with you to have a consistent approach. Of course, you don’t want to seem like a heartless person who doesn’t want to do everything for your child, but, as long as there are other people in your child’s life who always do everything for him, you will continue to be in this position. Maybe you can choose small activities for you and your child’s caregiver to do every week. For example, you could plan to see if your child can learn how to put on socks, jackets or sweaters over the weekend. Work together to do simple steps that you must follow together to help you learn how to do the activity and discuss every day what works and what doesn’t.
