Dressing for the Outdoors

Children observe many practical life actions in their everyday lives such as dressing and undressing. With this in mind, one of the best ways of nurturing children’s positive self esteem is to encourage their already strong interest in doing things on their own. Through repetition, they are able to build self confidence and further their independence as they put on their winter coats, snow pants, hats, mittens, and boots to get ready for the outdoors. Each child is provided with enough space and time to practice these skills.
