I Can Dress Myself

 

Book Reviewed by Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR.

What does your child say when they wake up early in the morning? Don’t tell me... it’s probably something automatic and sometimes it could be surprising such as “Daddy, I want to dress myself today, pretty please.....” 

Authored by Heidel Dedekind, Bridget Krone, Nontobeko Kunene, I can Dress Myself will bring the right conversations such as colour coordination into your morning routines. 

Letting children engage in normal routines such as dressing themselves can be fun albeit time consuming. Let’s assume you allow them to do so. As a parent, you may have a dandy time or a hectic experience. 

The book is pictorial and ends up with the child making the final decision of what to wear. Come to think of the right conversations around early learning, this is a book which may drive the conversation around school uniforms. 

Can children dictate what to wear when schools re-open. Also, can they design their own outfits and how much does a child conversation with a parent during such readings goes into practice? 

Who knows, you could be having the next designer in the making. Get the I Can Dress Myself at Book Dash and share your comments.
