2.7 year old won't get dressed

[Girlsville]

Dd1 is 2.7and a total nightmare to get dressed. She repeats 'want to stay in mug apyjamas' non stop and cries if itryand gather dressed before breakfast. After breakfast she still refuses! She loves choosing which clothes to wear just doesn't want to put them on. We start every day with a horrible battle and I would love some tips!
She starts preschool next week and we will need to get dressed per breakfastso that we get there in time but I can't see it going well.

My DD1 went through same phase and it drove me bananas- especially on work mornings. I ended up emptying her drawers of all but a few items to stop the 'choosing' and we set out clothes the night before. Also warned 'I dont mind if you go to nursery in your pjs as I headed for the door which did work but didnt want to do too many times! It was awful - DD2 going through it now too :( Manhandling only works to a certain extent- they are like bags of worms when they want to be!

Mine is doing the same - loves her pj's. I get her changed if we're going out, but if we're in the house I don't mind what she wears. If you can't do stuff like this when you're 2 when can you?

Two things that worked for me:

With DD. Get two teddies, you are going to use them like puppets, one teddy says DD can do it she can ! and so on, the other teddy say No - DD can't do it, she doesn't know where her knickers go, she's go to put them on her head and so on. DD was allowed to choose the teddies tomorrow if she did a great job of getting dressed. It's time consuming but it did work and after a while I didn't have to do the "performance" every time.

With DS I got a timer - one shaped like a cow that went moo, set it to 10 minutes and he had to beat the timer.

Thank u all
The new mummy is in charge tactic will start this weekend!

Man handling didn't work for me. Anything I put on just came straight back off, and escalated the situation.

I like the idea of the teddies. I also had two tooth brushes for DD who used to 'argue' with each other about whose turn it was to brush her teeth!

you go girlsville!!!! Good luck!

Hmm.... had a 20 min screaming fit thsi morning follwed by heartbroken tears, then a very upset goodbye when I left dd1 with the nannY! Not a good start tod ay for any of us! But hopefully will get better???
