Struggling to get the rug
rats ready before you have to jet to the office?
Here are some practical
tips for working mums to manage kids dressing in an easy, convenient, timely
and fuss-free manner.
We’ve outlined the tip to
toe of kids dressing.
#Tip No. 1 - Sort, sift, and stack ‘em up
Kids have pretty hectic
schedules, what with school, extracurricular activities, sports, and birthday
parties. We get it. To ensure you’re
not scavenging for items, last minute, make sure to pre-plan. Divide those
outfits into different categories like casualwear, formalwear, sportswear, and
nightwear. Additionally, separate the new buys; store them in a different shelf
or drawer. This way, whenever you need something, whatever style or occasion it
may be, you will remain stress-free. Be it clothes for boys or girls, be sorted -pun intended.
#Tip No. 2 - Follow the ‘one night before’ rule
Mornings can be messy, a
big ol’ slop fest, that’s for sure. No matter when the alarm goes off, there
never seems to be enough time to get everything in order before the school bus
or car-poolers arrive. So, optimise those moments between bath time and
breakfast time by having your kids clothing picked out the night prior. Put
some thought and care into what you select, the last thing you need is a temper
tantrum in the wee hours of the day.
#Tip No. 3 - Let the trendy tots participate
Today’s kids know what they
want and they’re not afraid to show it. Style is something that begins very
young and we can see this unfolding with children claiming their fashion sense.
To make kids dressing a pleasing rather than painful experience, rope them into
the process. Whether it has to do with allowing them to pick small things like
hair clips or shoelaces, or asking them to put on the sleeves/wear pants by
themselves, encourage collaboration.
#Tip No. 4 - Offer up a wholesome distraction
For the ones with a short
attention span (most kids, hello!), this tip serves up all the feels. Now,
we’re strictly referring to toddlers who can’t dress themselves. When zipping
up, strapping on, fastening, tying, or any other motion, make sure the
wrigglers are sufficiently distracted. Give them an object to hold onto, ask
your spouse to sing or dance, or put on the television for a few minutes. Seize
the moments when they’re cooperative.
#Tip No. 5 - Always entertain the extras
When it comes to dressing young children, you can never have too many pairs in hand. Home, school, park, creche, they’re perpetually on-the-go. So, be prepared for multiple changes from the inevitable spills. Furthermore, one of the biggest challenges is when your little one begins to grow so quickly, that, before you know it, they’ve outgrown most of their wardrobe. Now, you don’t have the right size for them. To bid this problem away, make sure to stock in twos.
