Q: How do I encourage my child to dress themselves?

A: Start with having your child undress himself! Show your child how to remove their shirt (tuck arms in) and pull over head. Lay your child's clothes out first. Try clothing /pants with elastics. Put hooded sweatshirts on first. Try having your child sit on the ground and dress instead of standing up. Make it fun!!
