Make dressing up simple for your kids
Once you find your kid enthusiastic about getting dressed alone, provide him or her with comfortable clothes to make it a fun activity for them. Make sure to give them the clothes that are loose or size bigger clothes as they are easier for children to get them on without the help of elders.
T-shirts and pants with elastic waistbands are perfect options for a baby boy. On the other hand, sleeveless dress slips and skirts with elastic waistbands are the right clothing for baby girls. Footwear and socks are also important part of getting dressed. Give them your shoes and socks to practice.

Take a test
It is the time to take a practical test of your child. Once you find your children good at dressing up comfortably; take out their clothing from wardrobe and hand over to them. Now, ask them to dress up themselves from top to bottom. Congratulate your kids if they accomplished the task without your assistance. Otherwise, wish them best of luck and advice to keep practicing if they could not make it this time.
