7 tricks on how to teach a child to dress himself

Dressing a small child is a difficult case that every mother and every father of a child older than 6 months knows about - the age at which he begins to spin, crawl, pull, climb on his hands, as you try to put on a jacket with narrow sleeves. into which miniature fingers do not penetrate. And the greatest difficulty arises in winter, when you have to wear bulky clothes for a walk.

Then you dream of that sunny day somewhere in the future, your child will become independent and will calmly dress alone at any time of the year while you finish your coffee before going outside.

1. Start the "workout" with "undressing".

Even at a very young age, the child takes off his hat and gloves with dexterous and lightning-fast movements and takes off his jacket. The trick of removing shoes and socks is classic - he does it at least 40 times a day from 8-9 months, so his movements are well known. When going to sleep, let the child just take everything off (without a diaper! It was important to clarify this), helping him a little if necessary. And tell him: "Now you're undressing alone, and when you get a little older, you'll dress alone again, because you can do it, and you'll get big." Thus, he gets used to the movements and gets used to undressing only at 1 year and 2-3 months. Because children understand everything from an early age, we are sure of that!

2. Clothes are always at hand.

Prepare the clothes that he will wear in a neat pile next to him, and when he gets out of bed, start dressing, each time explaining exactly what you are doing: "We put on pants, piercing first one leg, then the other. we put on a shirt, put on trousers, button up." If you decide, you can sing! When clothes are always at hand, the child can only try to put something on and get used to the whole process. While dressing, try not to annoy the child, on the contrary - make sure that he is in a good mood by singing a song, caressing, massaging, telling something so that the child perceives the dress as something pleasant and fun. And to encourage each properly worn sock is a new success.

3. The pot is your helper.

When you teach a child to pee in a potty, you can take advantage of this and ask him to then try to lift his pants on his own. Be patient, because you know - dressing is a routine for you, and it's really difficult for him. Always praise him when he succeeds in any of the things related to the pot. And when he fails, don't get angry, don't argue with him, so as not to push him away - this will delay learning clothes.

4. Give a personal example.

Children 1-2-3 years old like to imitate mom and dad in everything, besides they understand everything, even things like shoes. Dress up in front of him, making sure that he sees in what order and how things are with sleeves, pants, socks, boots, fastener. You can play "Who will get dressed faster" - it also works.

5. Buttons are just... toys.

Let him perceive them as such. Instead of pressing a one-year-old child with one hand so as not to move too much, trying to fasten the body on the diaper, say: "Shhh, shhh, shhh! Listen to the buttons click!

6. Lightning is not just a new word.

From an early age, children look at the zipper of your sweatshirt, zip up their jacket, in general, they know what it is for, and when you teach them the word "zipper", you can teach them how to pick it up. up and take it off. Many times is also a game!

7. Shoelaces are the most difficult.

You can simplify the explanation of how they are stretched and tied if you have a children's booklet with holes and ties that go through the holes - this is a good exercise for dexterity.
