Check clothes

About this visual support

Checking your clothes sounds simple, but it assumes the child knows exactly what to look for. Without that knowledge, a quick glance in the mirror is only a gesture, and your child walks out with the shirt on backwards without noticing. When the check exists as a picture, your child knows which points count instead of guessing.

Visual support turns the self-check into a list to run through: is the shirt facing the right way, is the zipper up, are the shoes on the correct feet, are the trousers turned the right way. A concrete tip is to practise at a mirror calmly in the evening, with no time pressure, so your child can learn what each point means before it matters for real in the morning rush. The routine is then already in place when the door is calling.

The pictures below can go up by the front door or where clothes are put on. To gather the whole dressing sequence in one flow, you can try Routined free for fourteen days.
