Mom Confessions
My DD started putting forth a good effort around the time that she was two. She was very independent and would insist on doing it by herself.
My DS is 2 and 5 mos and is just beginning to assert his independence and try it himself. Moreso than getting dressed, he wants to undress. DD was the opposite and wanted to dress herself before she attempted to learn to undress herself.
I'm just looking for an average age range and of the child attempted to dress or undress him/herself first.

DS made 2 in July. I was doing my hair yesterday and for the first time DS came in and said I ready!! I had to laugh he had on his bathing suit shorts in backward and a grey baseball shirt with his boots. But hey... He tried!! Lol -
at age of 5

Wait... As far as taking off cloths and trying to put it back on. He started taking off at like 18 mos but putting on at 2yrs. Yesterday was the first time he went to his room and got dressed

Before 2 He could 100% dress himself.

My son was about 3 when he could fully dress himself from head to toe. My daughter was 2 and could do everything except pull the shirt over her big ol' head. My 2nd daughter that is NOW 2 years 4 months, is stubborn, and tries to do everything herself, but her clothes end up backwards, and inside out. But the effort is there.

Age 3.5. Maybe she could have done it sooner if I encouraged it/let her. She has a bit of trouble with the socks, though.

Kara's three, and is learning to get undressed. She can take her bottoms, socks & shoes off and on, but has trouble with her shirts. She's very impatient & gets upset quickly. -
My DD is five and still gets frustrated with her shirts sometimes.
I think the funniest part is when they're learning to pull up their pants and forget to pull up the back part. They'll have the pants on with the exception of their heiny hanging out. Lol

Sydney could undress before 2, but she was 3 before she dressed herself. Probably because she loved being naked so much she didn't want to try.
