A typical morning in my home begins with these phrases: “My clothes hurt me. They are too loose. I need new clothes.” As a result, I began the search for the “right” clothes for my 4-year-old daughter. After much time, many tears, lots of tight hugs and a good dose of frustration, she begins her day in the same dress she wore the day prior, and many days prior to that. The process of getting dressed, which seems simple to most, is the biggest challenge my child faces on a daily basis.

While they may take a little more planning and patience, it is well worth the efforts for everyone involved.
