CHILDREN DRESSING THEMSELVES

When your children begin wanting to dress themselves – which starts at around two-and-a-half – divide their clothes into ‘play’ and ‘good’ clothes.
Dedicate drawers accordingly so they know exactly which drawer they can dress from depending on what they are doing that day. This will save you a
lot of negotiating with your child about what they can and can’t wear. Also, you’ll save their good clothes from being splattered with paint and mud.
