My baby’s inability to dress has made me feel so low self-esteem and anxious, so I found a method of super-saving mechanical dressing.

Gua’s mother said:

Some time ago, a mother told me that her daughter went to kindergarten in the morning and was fine, but when she came back from school in the afternoon, her voice started to become hoarse. Later I found out that it was because The baby cannot dress himself, and kindergartens in the south do not have heating in winter. After the children wake up, those children who can dress themselves can quickly take care of themselves, but the daughter has to wait for the teacher to take care of her one by one. Her daughter herself My body is relatively weak and I catch a cold whenever I catch a cold. The mother said that if the baby doesn't know how to wear clothes, he will "suffer a disadvantage" in the kindergarten.

Taking care of yourself is one thing. When your baby sees other babies dressing and taking off clothes independently, but not himself, he will be very frustrated psychologically, and it will also affect the baby's self-confidence and social interaction.

I have a friend who said that her daughter can dress herself, and she is particularly "enthusiastic" in helping other children dress in kindergarten. The children like to play with her, and the teacher always praises her. Kindergarten is very happy.

It is easy for babies to learn to wear clothes

But the process is difficult and implies a lot of logic

One or two year old baby , they will become "curious" about clothes, and they will also begin to develop the "enthusiasm" to wear clothes themselves.

Look at such a small baby. He chose a difficult one-piece at the beginning and put it on in the wrong order. As a result, one leg got stuck after putting it on...

As for this baby, he looked at the clothes for a long time and wanted to find a breakthrough. Unfortunately, in the end he didn't have a clear idea (didn't understand the order), so he just put the clothes on his head.

This baby put on the wrong trousers. One trouser leg is the front, and the other trouser leg has been turned to the wrong side. But she still continues to work hard. It is too difficult to put on trousers... …

In our opinion, dressing up is very simple, but it is a "technical job" for babies to learn!

When a mother sees that her baby wants to try to put on clothes by herself, remember to "go with the flow". Even if the baby is involved in a very small step, don't worry about the baby's movements being too slow. These are all baby logic. Great opportunity for thinking skills.

When Guagua was more than one year old, I would ask him to hand me the clothes he wanted to wear. Even the simple action of handing over clothes would pave the way for teaching the baby how to wear clothes in the future.

Start with simple “taking off clothes”

Generally speaking, taking off clothes is easier to master than putting on clothes. We can start by teaching babies to take off clothes. , start by taking off your pants.

1. First choose clothes that are loose and easy to take off and let your baby try them (it is recommended to choose open-front clothes instead of pull-over clothes).

2. You can help the baby unzip or button the clothes first.

3. Teach the baby to grasp the skirts of clothes on both sides with both hands and open the clothes to both sides of the body until the clothes slide down the shoulders.

4. Take one arm out of the sleeve first.

5. Take the other arm out of the sleeve.

The same goes for taking off pants:

1. First, pull the pants down to the bottom;

2. Then teach the baby to grab the pants with both hands and pull them down.

Don’t limit your baby’s methods, let your baby try more. Look at this one-and-a-half-year-old kid using his hands and feet to "kick off" his jumpsuit. Isn't it great!

Whether it is teaching your baby to put on clothes or take off clothes, it cannot be taught in one go. Mom, don’t be impatient, and don’t expect too much. At the beginning, we can leave the last one or two steps for the baby to complete by himself, and the baby will have a sense of accomplishment.

You can try these “dressing tips”!

Before teaching the baby to wear clothes, we need to let the baby understand the positive aspects of clothes and the relationship between the front and the back. You can use clothes to demonstrate to your baby and teach them to identify them. For example, if the label is on the back, it should be worn on the back.

Things with cartoon characters or patterns are on the front of the clothes. When you put on your clothes and lower your head, you can see this pattern.

Generally speaking, there are two styles of baby's tops, one is the open-front style (with zippers or buttons); the other is the pull-over style. We can teach the baby separately.

1. Cardigan tops

When the baby is about one year old, you can consciously let the baby learn to wear this kind of clothes by himself. At the beginning, the baby only needs to "cooperate" "Make some simple dressing movements, such as clenching your little fists and inserting your hands into your sleeves, "The baby's little hands are going to dig into the cave." Then gradually increase the difficulty.

There is a "dressing method" for babies on the Internet. It is very domineering. Parents can also let their babies try it.

1) Place the coat on the bed, sofa or floor, with the label on the collar facing up, facing the baby's feet;

2) Let the baby stretch out his two hands Put it into the sleeves and raise your arms;

3) Then turn the clothes over his head and you're done.

2. Pullover top

First, teach your baby to recognize the front and back of the clothes (for example, the front is the one with patterns). The front of the clothes is facing forward and ready.

1) Put the clothes on your neck;

2) Stick your head out of the big hole;

3) Put both arms out of the big hole. Two small holes stick out;

4) Finally, pull the clothes down neatly.

Putting on a pullover is more difficult. At the beginning, we can help hold a sleeve and help the baby put his hand into the sleeve, and then slowly let the baby try to put it on by himself.

You can also use "rhymes" like this to help your baby understand the movements.

A piece of clothing has four holes. The baby goes through the big hole,

The head goes through the middle hole, and the little hands stick out of the small hole.

3. Wearing pants

Wearing pants is somewhat similar to wearing a pullover. First, teach your baby to recognize the front, back, inside and outside. For example, beautiful patterns are on the pants. In the front, the big loose part on the butt is in the back.

1. When putting it on, you can let the baby sit down first;

2. The front of the pants is facing up;

3. Put one foot out

4. Put the other foot out of the trouser leg;

5. Finally stand up and lift up the trouser waist;

6. Take care of your pants again.

4. Put on shoes

You can first choose shoes that are less difficult for your baby and have hook-and-loop fasteners.

1) First teach the baby how to distinguish the left and right feet: Let the baby put the shoes in front of him, with the head of the shoe facing forward. If he sees two shoes closed, there is a small hole in the middle to indicate that they are right. ; if there is no such small hole, it means it is placed backwards.

2) Then, make the baby look like wearing shoes, pushing the toes forward;

3) Then pull up the heel;

4) Just press the Velcro fastener lightly.

Mom Gua finally said:

It is a particularly difficult process for a baby to learn to dress at the beginning. During this process, the baby will definitely make various small mistakes, such as buttoning the wrong buttons. Buttonholes, pants worn inside out, etc. I remember when Guagua was in primary school, one time when she came back from kindergarten, her pants were worn inside out. In fact, these are normal things.

We can also give our children “special” exercises for the difficult tasks of wearing clothes, such as buttoning buttons and tying shoelaces.

When I teach Guagua how to button, I first lay the clothes flat on the bed, point out the buttons and corresponding buttonholes to Guagua, and then tell him how to thread the buttons into the corresponding buttonholes. At the beginning, I would lower the difficulty and insert half of the button into the buttonhole, and then let Guagua pull the button out from the buttonhole. Then let Guagua operate the whole button by himself.

At that time, I also read some "rhymes" to Guagua to facilitate Guagua's memory and make the practice more interesting:

Small buttons, round,

It seems The eyes are looking for friends,

The little holes are busy waving,

Welcome buttons are drilled into the holes.

Some mothers said, let alone teach their children to wear clothes, even if they help them wear clothes, their children are still running around and refuse to wear clothes. What should I do?

I have written about this issue before, and I have placed the article at the end of the related reading section. Mothers in need can read it.

Let me tell you, when did your baby learn to dress on his own? Let’s share the method together!
