[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the advice! I don't like forcing her into clothes because I feel like I'm not respecting her bodily autonomy, but I'm probably overreacting there a bit. I'm her mother and clothes are non-negotiable, unlike hugs and kisses. Nanny is definitely no nonsense. She has much firmer boundaries with DD than I do. I combined the "make it fun" and "be firm" techniques this morning. We needed to "teach" Elmo how to put on pull-ups, pants, etc. DD wasn't happy about it, but we managed to get her mostly dressed with less fight and crying than usual. Progress![/quote] OP I would highly recommend that you read the book No Bad Kids. It's perfect for this age, and it made me realize that this type of power struggle really makes the child feel out of control. They actually need boundaries and confident leaders.[/quote]
