Keeping Hats and Mittens On

Struggling to keep a little one’s hat or mittens on? Here are some fun tips to make it easier:

  • Start Small: Begin with just a few minutes and gradually increase the time. Small steps can lead to big progress!

  • Try Different Styles: Experiment with various types, materials, and fits. The right style can make all the difference.

  • Stay Low-Key: If the hat or mittens come off, simply put them back on without drawing attention.

  • Celebrate Success: Acknowledge and celebrate when they keep their hat and mittens on. Positive reinforcement works wonders!

  • Offer Choices: Involve the child by letting them pick out their hat and mittens or choose from existing options.
