Dressing Solutions 101: You've heard of a hat trick? Well, one savvy parent wrote us with the following "Easy-on" COAT Trick!

Dear Word to the Wise:

To teach a toddler how to put on a coat properly (you know how they always put their arms into the wrong sleeves?): 

• Have your child place the coat flat on the floor, front side facing up.
• Have your child stand at the collar end, facing the coat. Then have him/her bend over and put his/her hands into the sleeves, then bring the coat up over his/her head while pushing arms into sleeves. (This is easier than it sounds — try it yourself first.)
• Voila! Coat's on properly!

Sincerely, 

Naomi L. Siegel, PA

GREAT idea — thanks Naomi! We're sure other parents out there will find that trick to come in mighty handy during hectic mornings!
