Here is another post from eBeanstalk.com:

I often get this question (and I’ve lived through it with 2 of my own!). What I find works the best is really quite simple…make a map.

Kids do so well when they have a visual “Map” to follow.

Draw out the steps for them…this is great for the younger kids too. Draw a picture of each article of clothing, in the order they are to put on the clothes.

Also, I recommend numbering the steps.

You can even make it a checklist and they can make a check once each article of clothing is completely on their body.

You’ll see…before long your child will be getting dressed quicker, with less stress and frustration for everyone.
