Dressing and Undressing Tips
The best children's clothing is made of high¬ quality cotton fabric. Cotton
keeps a child cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is the ideal natural
fabric for clothing. Cotton is also easy to clean and lasts longer than synthetic
fabrics. It is also very smooth and comfortable to wear. In the winter, woolen
jackets, sweaters, mittens, and hats can be worn on top of cotton clothing.
It is better if your child's clothing is loose-fitting and comfortable, and allows
him freedom of movement. It is more difficult for children to relax and play in
tight, restrictive clothing. Tight clothing can make a child uncomfortable and
irritable.
The quality of your child's shoes is also very important. Soft cotton or canvas
sneakers are comfortable and practical. Children's feet grow very quickly. You
need to pay careful attention to this, making sure that as your child's feet
grow, her shoes are comfortable. It is very difficult for children to relax if their
shoes do not fit properly. Shoes that are too big can also cause problems, as
a child may trip and fall easily, and may not be able to run, jump, and play with
total freedom.
As we have already said, high-quality cotton pajamas are best. Synthetics
often hold too much body heat and make children uncomfortable. Pajamas
with feet attached also tend to keep the body too warm during sleep. Some
children feel confined when they wear pajamas of this type. Pajamas with
attached feet often have plastic soles, which are not recommended. If a child's
cotton pajamas have attached feet, simply cut the feet off to make them more
comfortable for your child to sleep in. When pajamas are comfortable and
loose-fitting, a child can enjoy freedom of motion and can sleep soundly. In the
morning, children can remove their underwear and pajamas and put on fresh,
clean underwear and clothing
If children always have clean and neat clothing when they are young, and if
parents teach the importance of dressing properly, children will tend to
develop orderly habits of dress. If the proper care of clothing is neglected, it is
much more difficult to encourage older children to dress well and to take
proper care of their clothes.
