Dressing routine for toddlers: Encouraging independence
Toddler
Last updated:
Foster your toddler's independence during their dressing routine by preparing their clothes in advance and guiding them through each step. Create a consistent daily routine that allows them to make simple choices and break tasks into smaller steps. Use visual aids and provide child-sized tools to encourage self-help skills. Offer praise and encouragement for their efforts, be patient, and gradually increase responsibilities as they grow. This approach not only helps your toddler feel more independent but also makes dressing time a fun and educational experience.
