Tip of the Day 4/26/11

Let's see if we can make life a little less complicated and harried each morning as your children dress for the day. Each Sunday pick out 5 outfits for the week, let the kids help choose, stack them with underware, socks, and shoes if appropriate on a shelf. Each night before bed have your child pick from the stack what they would like to wear the next day.  This helps eliminate the rush and confusion each morning and still gives your child choices. Keep clothes that your child can choose from on the weekends in a separate drawer or shelf and give them free reign to mix and match to their hearts content. This is also a great tool for caregivers of elderly loved ones. Remove the clothing from the hangar and place on a shelf within their reach. The loved one still has a choice and will appreciate the independence and convenience.
