Removing Clothes

“Undress Yourself and Get Ready For Your Bath!”

• Give your child opportunities to assist with undressing.
• Make undressing fun and interesting for your child.
• Play “Peekaboo” as you pull on your child’s shirt.
• Create absurdities, such as placing your child’s sock on your head or shirt on your foot.
• Partially remove your child’s clothing and encourage him to assist in completing the task.
• Give your child opportunities to remove clothing from a doll and stuffed animal.
• Remove your child’s clothing (socks, shoes), than have your child try to remove yours.
• Give your child your clothing to play dress up with.  Larger clothing is easier to remove.
• Place your child in front of the mirror for visual feedback.
• Provide assistance when necessary.  Remove prompts as your child becomes more independent with undressing.
