i fight with my daughter to get the clothes i want on her. help!!!?

Never, I repeat, NEVER have an argument with your child over what they wear!

I would never impose my "style" on my children. They are 5 and 3 and wear what they want to wear. Its just not high on my priority list. That they say "Please" and "thank you," that they are nice to people, that they don't destroy property, that they don't beat on other kids.......those are my priorities, but what they want to wear? Nah.....

Your daughter is FOUR and developing her own style. Why not let her do it? How would you like it if your mother dressed you in her style?

That's not a battle I'm willing to fight. My daughters are who they are. They wear what THEY like, not what *I* like, even if I think my choice is cuter.

Take your daughter shopping to pick out her own clothes. And if she changes her mind from the night before, then so be it. Just make sure to wake up 10 minutes earlier to account for any change of mind she might have and let her wear what she wants to!

Let her dress how she wants everyday, and then when its important that she wear a certain outfit (like for Sunday church or a wedding or whatever) she will be more willing to wear what you tell her to. That's what I do. They can wear whatever they like day to day, but when Mommy says you're wearing this to Uncle John's wedding, that is what you're wearing. But then, with girls, that's easy! (What girl doesn't like to get dressed up???)

Good luck!

The key words are "what I want her to wear" So she changed her mind, oh well...so let her wear w/e she wants, why do u make her choose an outfit the day before if u know she'll change her mind. She's 4 and she's a girl, end of story. Let her pick her outfit in the mornings.

my three year old is very fussy about her clothes...she likes it to be her decision and hates me chhosin for her. if she starts acting up then take her toys away, leave her with the clothes and tell her she can have them when she is ready to get dressed.

however, if your daughter is acting up about a particular type of clothing ('She has a big issue with wearing trousers. Shes said"there wobbly on her legs".') then maybe you need to look into it. it sounds silly but my younger sister was also very fussy about clothes. she would throw huge fits sometimes when my mum tried to dress her. it wasnt untill she was about 12 that we descovered she had a phobia of buttons (crazy rite). she cannt stand to look at them or have them touch her skin. if we go out to a resturaunt and there are men wearing shirts she cant eat. we always laugh at her for it, but to her it is really serious.

maybe your daughter associates the 'wobbly on her legs' as something to be unsure about....maybe creepy crawlies in her clothes .

if she is just being fussy for no reason like my daughter then make sure you stay in control. alow her to choose from a few options you decide on but then keep to that decision. give her a time frame in which to get dressed and if she isnt ready in time then leave the house. (or pretend to anyway) maybe lock the door and go sit in the car for 2 minutes. she will start to realise that your word is law and that you no longer have time for her acting up. good luck and just think....they are not even stroppy teenagers yet...i dont know how im going to cope lol x

At her age, she wants to start making decisions for herself. It's healthy to let her make decisions about small things throughout the day. Like Emily said, give her 2-3 options. You choose the options and she chooses which one she likes the best. It's a win-win situation. You can also do the same thing with meals and playtime. Give her choices on different things throughout the day. She will enjoy feeling like she has some control over her life and it will teach her reasoning and decision-making skills.

take her shopping and let her pick out what she likes.

My six year old son is the same way, he hated sweaters, I finally figured out that the neck part was too tight and he did not like the feeling of being choked. So I went out and bought him zipper sweaters so that they are not tight around the neck. He also hates tags because they itch.

Try to find a happy medium, perhaps some tights or spandex pants or yoga material instead of trousers.

My sister and that i in basic terms made the guideline that we: one million) Did placed on a sparkling merchandise earlier the guy who offered it have been given to placed on it. 2) did not placed on an identical or comparable clothing on an identical day. 3) did not borrow clothing with out permission. in the event that they have 2 separate closets, dressers, and garments that are "mine" and "yours", this might desire to paintings ok. you purely might desire to get them the two interior the room and tell them which you at the instant are not tolerating struggling with anymore, and which you will comply with regulations. And anyone breaking the regulations and reasons a combat, would be grounded or punished.

Let her wear dresses, skirts and shorts! Pick out 2 outfits in the morning that you can deal with and let her have the final say. It really helps their behavior letting them gain confidence in what they chose.

She's uncomfortable, she's not being naughty. She's not doing this to disobey you. I'd let her wear shorts or a dress instead. Keep in mind, little ones are often pretty sensitive to the feeling of fabric, and they move around a lot more than we do.

What is getting 'silly' is your insistance that she has to wear what YOU like. Is she wanting to run around naked? Or in clothes completely inappropriate to the weather? (Bathing suit in below freezing temps?) If not, pick your battles.

Lots of girls this age are going through a 'girly' stage, and they want to wear dresses or skirts. So WHY can't she wear dresses or skirts? Just so you can prove that you know best?

You get her up in the morning, have 2 outfits out for her to wear and have her pick one! That way it is the clothes you want and she got to pick!
