Put on a top
The neckline that catches, a tag scratching at the back, two arms hunting for the right holes at the same time. Putting on a top can be surprisingly tricky. The visual support below breaks the moment into calm, ordered steps.

About this visual support
The neckline is tightest exactly when the head is halfway through, and that is also the moment vision disappears and the tag at the back starts to itch. For many children, this tiny window is the hard part of getting dressed, not the idea of wearing clothes at all.
With the steps laid out as pictures, you can pause right where things usually stall. The image for the neckline becomes a signal: pull the top over the face, breathe, let the head come through. Then the arms, one at a time, so neither hole has to be guessed in the dark. The label can be checked or snipped off beforehand, so it does not steal attention at the last second.
A concrete tip: place the top on the bed face down with the opening toward the child, and the direction sorts itself out without any talk of left or right. In the Routined app you can pair the visual support with a gentle morning timer, so the top gets its own small square in the routine.
