NK was adamant about not wearing clothes today indoors (she sometimes starts off naked as MB struggles to dress her too). I tried to make it a game/played songs about clothes, let her choose any clothes she wanted, and even just picking her up to put some pants on. She blocked any attempt to put on a hoodie or pants. I also took breaks in-between attempts. NF says they have to lovingly bear hug her to brush her teeth at night. I’m not comfortable restraining her though. She seemed not as much defiant as sincerely upset about clothes today. Also, it is pretty cold outside here so I had to turn up the heat and just got her to run around a lot and lie under blankets as she was willing.

What advice or experiences do you have? I’ve been getting better at creative solutions to motivate her to potty/eat but hit a wall today!
