Children are considered developmentally ready for dressing training if they can sit quietly for 3 to 5 minutes (not 1 to 2) while working on a task; can follow physical gestures or cues; can follow verbal commands; and can relate clothing to the appropriate body part, such as socks to feet. As with other self-help skills, the child may not be able to master every task but should be evaluated for evidence of willingness to participate at his or her level of readiness.
