Watching your daughter dress up by her self is always a great source of entertainment. But this seemingly cute moment is genuinely an primary life skill that may foster independence and give hope or courage to logical thinking. These are two important traits that will aid her grow into a self-assured adult.

Teaching your daughter how to dress up may not seem essential or urgent, but now is the perfective time to add it to your parenting “to do” list.

Decisions, Decisions

Your child has not yet mastered the “art of dressing up,” so she will need you to guide her. Give her options, but in the end, concede her to select what she wants to wear. Too a lot of selections will overwhelm her, so limit the selections to only two or three outfits. Give her choices of what hair accessaries she wants to pair her outfit with as well. Once she has chosen an outfit and hair accessories, lay the chosen pieces neatly on a chair so she may without apparent effort reach them the next morning.

Poster Child

Make a “morning procedure poster” that illustrates what she needs to do to get dressed everyday. Here’s an idea: draw distinguished columns on a poster board and then sketch a picture of each costume item. If you’re not the artistic type, you may take snapshots of the costume pieces and then tape them on the poster board. Put the drawings or snapshots in logical order for your child to follow. For example, the pink dress first, then the socks, then shoes, plus her bestloved flower hair clip. Hang it in a spot where she may effortlessly see it.

Early Birds

Since she is just beginning to learn how to dress up on her own, brace yourself for a little feeling of annoyance at being hindered or criticized and a little chaos. Wake up earlier to give your daughter extra time to get ready. Also, try not to step in too quickly to help her. Give her sufficient time to figure things out on her own.

Baby Steps

Start simple with clothes and hair accessaries that are easy for her to put on. Garments with snaps, zippers and buttons might be perplexed at first, since she is only beginning to gain control over her little muscles. Avoid them in the mean time. For example, it will be having little impact in the beginning for her to slip on pants with elastic waist bands or put headbands on her hair. She may graduate to more intricate costume items once she starts getting the hang of it. The same goes for shoes. Opt for shoes with velcro straps and save the ones with shoelaces for when your child learns to dress herself without struggling.

Curb Criticism

It may seem simple, but learning to dress up on her own is challenging for a child. It won’t make things any having little impact or less complicated if you become critical. Saying things like “Your shirt is buttoned wrong” or “That’s the wrong hair clip for that outfit” may devalue your child’s attempts and reduce her self-esteem. Expect that there will be faults and imperfections. Gently guide her to rectify these while providing a great deal of encouragement and honorable praise for her efforts.
