 Teaching your preschooler to dress and put on shoes yourself, and even quickly, is a rather difficult task. Nevertheless, a child aged 4-5 is already able to do this. The most important thing for learning is time. Gathering in a hurry in the morning, when there is not enough time for anything and some of the necessary things are necessarily lost or a button comes off, the lock breaks - the mother in a hurry dresses the baby herself, not giving him the opportunity to show independence.
If you firmly decided that your child needs to learn how to dress without the help of parents, then make sure that all the necessary things are prepared in the evening, and in the morning just wake the child up early, then you will be sure that you have enough time and will calmly observe. how the baby dresses, only sometimes prompting him what to do next. At the same time, try not to help the child yourself. Thus, children develop logical thinking and finger motor skills. Constantly cheer your child up, praise for the successes achieved.
Naturally, children can be capricious in the morning, then you can turn the dressing process into a game. Tell your child that today is fashion day and he can choose his own clothes. To do this, prepare a couple of different sets of clothes, individual parts of which, in your opinion, can be combined with each other. Let the child choose what he wants - a shirt or blouse from one set and pants or a skirt from the second. The more clothes you provide to choose from, the more interesting the child will be and he will forget about his bad mood in the morning. In any case, both you and the baby will be satisfied, especially if you foresee in advance how all the individual gizmos are combined with each other, otherwise the child may choose extremely strange combinations.
Do not forget that you need to teach your child to dress using the most comfortable things. Therefore, for now, remove complicated things from your wardrobe - overalls, trousers with zippers, tight buttons and snaps. In the first stages of training, the simplest clothing is suitable - loose T-shirts, trousers or pants with an elastic belt. If you have a girl, give preference to skirts with an elastic belt, dresses with a comfortable neckline and large armholes.
Shoes are a separate problem. Of course, teaching a child to fasten Velcro on shoes is much easier than tying shoelaces. And yet the baby should be able to do both. For example, tying shoelaces can be turned into an interesting game with memorable prompts. Let it be a fairy tale about a rabbit. First, by overlapping the ends of the laces, you can explain that with a cross made of laces you marked the place where the rabbit will live. Then make two loops - these are the long rabbit ears. They are messed up - wind the loops behind each other. And now they need to be fixed on the rabbit's head - stretch through the ring formed at the bottom of the ears. Since the ears of colic should be long, they need to be tightened - tighten the knot. Thanks to such games, it will be easier for the child to remember this process and every time you tell such a fairy tale, it will be easier for him to remember what to do with the laces next.
But most importantly, when you teach a child to dress and put on shoes - be perfectly patient and do not show your displeasure with the slowness and clumsiness of the baby, do not rush him and never scold, then your preschooler will soon delight you with excellent results.
