Please help me.
My nearly four year old won't get dressed. She makes a fuss about getting ready, usually her socks, every single day, and has done since she was 1. I am going insane.
I've tried everything. Like everything and nothing works. I don't expect her to be obedient and do exactly what I say first time always, but I also can't spend hours on getting her ready every day, or just physically dressing her while she screams, any more. It's not sensory issues. We always get her dressed one way or another in the end so it's not like she thinks if she kicks off she won't have to put her socks on or brush her teeth etc, that's literally never happened, and yet she still does it every single day.
Every day starts with a battle. I start positive and playful every day and it still doesn't help.
Today has been 45 minutes of trying to make her wear a top. We haven't even got to socks yet. It's a struggle to leave the house every day. And I work (luckily usually from home).
What can I do? I'm hoping I'm just a crap parent and there's something obvious I haven't tried.
