To prepare your child to dress and undress by herself
Let your child touch what she is
about to put on. This helps her get
to know the feel of the clothing and
how it is shaped before she puts it
on. Describe the clothing and what
color it is.
Meena, here’s
your red shirt.
Now I’m
putting your
red shirt over
your head.
As you dress your child,
tell her the name of
each piece of clothing
and the part of the body
it goes on.
Rosa, hold out
your right arm
so I can put on
the sleeve of your
yellow shirt.
Ask your child to help
you as you dress her.
This will help her learn
that she plays a part in
getting dressed.
