Getting in and out of your clothes for your self is a great step towards independence. Usually undressing will come first,
you'll notice socks and shoes get pulled off followed by the usual 'game' as your toddler resists having them put back on.
Then their clothes will be pulled off at any given opportunity, children love to be stark naked especially when you want them
to be dressed, putting things on and taking them off is a toddler delight.
Contrary to how it may seem your child isn't doing it to tax your patience, dressing and undressing provides a host of
opportunities for him to practice their hand coordination. try to help your child out by creating as many chances for success
as possible.
If your toddler especially enjoys dressing themselves, provide them with a box of dress-up clothes that are easy to manage
they will spend hours changing cloths. When it comes to them dressing themselves for the day, your toddler will do best with
pants that have elastic waists, pull-on tops, and Velcro-fastening shoes to minimize morning struggles, this will cut down
on the tears and tantrum if they take too long or have to be helped .
Its good to introduce any new challenges one at a time. By the age of four, they will be able to dress and undress themselves
with little help.
