Help! Daughter won't put clothes on!

My dd is just about to turn 2 and has decided she doesn't like wearing clothes anymore! She won't put ANYTHING on unless we distract her with something like raisins/Jaffa cake /frozen/peppa pig

I don't want her to develop a bad habit of expecting these things every time she gets dressed but I don't know what else to do?

She won't let us put any clothes on her without screaming and pulling them off, today I wanted to take her to the library but couldn't because she wouldn't put a jumper/coat on so we've just had to stay in all day it's ridiculous!
She's currently sitting with chattering teeth because she has a dress on but won't wear tights and won't let me put a blanket over her either!

Does anyone have any advice or tips pls? The weather is getting colder and I'm worried she's just going to get ill!

you could try a chart/ reward system. everytime she gets dressed without a fight, she gets a sticker. 7 stickers=a surprise (a small toy from poundland etc) and if she gets 18 stickers then she gets a big treat, like going to the cinema, a kids funfair etc. however if she argues, she loses her chance to earn a sticker. print a chart off like this: choretell.com/wp-content/uploads/Rainbows-and-sky-reward-chart-for-kids.png and display is clearly where she can see it.

all the best x

Let her cry.
Don’t ask her to put the coat on etc just you put it on her and take her out. She’ll scream, you’ll be embarrassed but you’ll get your message across that you’re in charge.
However you might want to steady yourself for when she’s an adult and tells you she’s going to a nudist colony on holiday. I’m waiting for our youngest to tell me that one day. He’s barely in the door from school and he’s in his pants. In fact it’s quite impressive how quickly he sheds his clothes as soon as he gets into the house.
