[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you have forced her into clothes, and the result is 5 minutes of crying? The struggling for hours is when you don't force the clothes on her. This occurs when you "negotiate" by, eg, giving her options? Is that correct? I think you need to force her into clothes every single time. Immediately, and not after you've run out of time. Give it a couple weeks to see if she adjusts. Boundaries are established in part by predictability. If she knows the routine is firm, maybe she'll get used to it. The alternative, fighting with her for hours, sounds so much worse imo. She's not playing or have good interactions with you. It's a long string of negative interaction after another.
