o Jackets and coats where the inside is a different color or has a different pattern on it will help your child know which side out is the right way.
o When wearing winter clothes, rain jackets, sweaters, other weather related clothes, use that time as a learning experience and talk about the weather and why they need to wear those types of clothing.
o Another use of stickers, pieces of colored tape, or colored sticker discs is to put several on the back of your child’s pants, on a back pocket, on their socks, etc., after they have them on - for fun have them try to reach around and pull them off. This fun activity helps them become more aware of their body and helps teach them to reach around, reach behind, and reach down to all the hard to reach places that relate to dressing (pulling up pants in the back, pulling the wrinkles out of their socks, and so on).
o You can change this “sticker” activity by using clothes pins - make a game of how fast they can pin them onto their clothes and then take them off. You can help place the clothes pins in harder to reach areas. They may want to use a dressing mirror to help see where they are. If they are resistive to wearing the clothes pins, you could start with having them put them on your or take them off of your clothes.
