What to wear?

Using the following contexts, discuss with your child what might be helpful or unhelpful information to know when deciding what to wear for each event:

• The playground
• Painting the house
• Walking the dog
• A themed party indoors
• Going to school

For example, which questions might be helpful in each situation?

Such as:

• What will the weather be like?
• What colour is my top?
• Are my shoes good for running?
• Will it matter if my clothes get dirty?
• Do my pants have pockets?

For the context of the playground or walking the dog, information about the weather would be important to know when deciding what to wear because both activities are outdoors. However, the colour of my clothes is probably not as important to consider for these activities.
