[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just dress them and if they are hysterical don’t respond just keep dressing them. say nothing . repeat as necessary. The explaining and games will backfire on you in the morning when you really don’t have time and will quickly lose patience and it will escalate.[/quote] I offer games and choices but set time limits. If you don’t choose by the time I’m done doing X (often counting to 3), I choose for you. If you don’t get dressed yourself in a reasonable amount of time, I will wrestle you into your clothes myself. A few times of wailing and wrestling and my kids (2 and 4) are pretty good in the mornings now. Sometimes they want me to choose their clothes or dress them and I try to make sure I’m available to do so but also leave them enough time to do it themselves if they want to.[/quote]
