[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a similar DD, OP. In our case, she also wears clothes that are too small or summer clothes in winter (beyond what a typical teen would do). I like the idea of a “uniform.” I don’t want to transmit any negative messages about her appearance, so I’m never quite sure how to encourage hair brushing, clothing choices, etc.[/quote] I pack up the seasonally inappropriate clothes. There is a box in the closet labeled Summer on one side and Winter on the other. Out of sight out of mind. If she asks for something she is welcome to get it out. As for too small clothes, they vanish from the laundry somehow. It's a mystery. If she asks, I suggest she organize her drawers to find them.[/quote]
