Children learn how to dress themselves over the span of a multiple years.
By 1 year old, your child should be able to independently remove their shoes and socks, as well as push their limbs through clothing.
By 2 years old, your child should be able to help pull their pants down, as well as untie their shoes.
By 3 years old, your child should be able to put on their own shirt with or without help, pull down their pants, attempt to put on their shoes and socks, and begin to learn how to use zippers.
By 4 years old, your child should be able to independently take off their shirt, as well as zip up their jackets.
By 5 years old, your child should be able to dress with little to no help.
By 6 years old, your child should be able to tie their shoes.
If they struggle with these, it may be a sign of a developmental issue occupational therapy can help with.
