[quote=Anonymous]These are all things you can work on yourself. You can teach him to use utensils through practice (if it's fine motor try different utensils of different sizes and thicknesses). Try different toothbrushes and toothpaste (some kids with sensitivity issues can't tolerate mint flavors). Dressing with help is okay. Try different clothes that are easy to put on. Lay them out the way they are to be put on. Help with tooth brushing if necessary. Use pictures to show the steps. Practice. Reward for success. Potty training is a different story. It's hard if your child isn't ready physically wise. Try pictures with the steps. My DS didn't potty train until 5 1/2. He just wasn't ready. Pushing did not work. Focus on one skill at a time. Like others suggested start small with one step and build on it.[/quote]
