he picked it out himself... his whole room is "super hero" but when he sees the costume, he cries.....
he was a pirate last year, and i had no problem... it could just be him "growing up"...
is there any way i can get him to wear his costume?? we're leaving for a party in 2 hours and he wont do it!!

don't tell him you're leaving without him. that will cause maor problems later on. tr telling him no party until he puts it on, and if he still says no, pretend to not go to the party. put keys away, sit down, turn on tv and say ok. we'll stay home then and pretend to settle in.

Talk up the costume! Tell him how cool superman is and how someone else might also be dressed up as a superhero, and they can match. If after a lil bit of trying he still doesnt want to, let it go. It will be worse if you sit there and argue with him. I have learned that through the years with my seven year old and now my two year old. If he just wont wear it, tell him he can put stuff from around the house on. Let him wear a toy cowboy suit with one of his dad's neckties. Whatever he wants to put on, let him. This was always a big hit around here!

Why does he have to wear the costume? If he doesn't like it for some reason and you trick him or force him into it, won't he be miserable for the entire party, ruining your good time? Bring it with you and maybe he'll decide to wear it later when he sees everyone else dressed up.... or maybe not, but nobody will care. Everyone knows toddlers march to the beat of their own drummer.

ok, your toddler would not have a 'psychological project' and you do no longer could take him to confirm a 'toddler psychologist' or therapist. Your son is 'manipulating you' to get greater interest ... and the least complicated thank you to 'supply up this' is to make particular (the two you and your spouse could try this) that he continually HAS HIS dress ON ... and this potential that he could 'stand perfect by the washer and dryer bare while it quite is being washed, and could positioned it on immediately ... and you should additionally 'verify everywhere' to make particular it quite is 'risk-free' for him to tug his pants down while he is going to the bathing room, and to 'verify to tell each physique that your son is 'quite Superman in hide' as slightly boy, and 'no person is to each point out the dress in front of him' as being a 'dress.' Your son will very right now enhance bored together with his 'sport' by way of fact it could have 'blown up in his face' ... and sooner or later quickly, you will see him being 'in simple terms Eddie' returned, and being quite pleased with in simple terms that.

You need to choose your battles. Is it really all that important that he wears the costume- he is only 2. Both of my girls hate to wear costumes- I don't know why. I would just bring him in everyday clothes and bring his costume just incase he changes his mind. There are too many other things worth fighting about- this isn't one of them.

Just put it on him. You're the parent, act like it.
Okay, Where I live it is currentl 30 degrees. My 2 1/2 year old cries when she can't wear a dress. She either wears the pants and long sleeve shirt or she doesn't go. After a few minutes she will listen.

Leave him alone! He is a person, he has rights, he doesn't have to wear a costume if he doesn't want to. Don't cheat him of the consequences of his own actions. He has rights.

I had the exact same problem last night. My 3 year old, derin, would not were his costume. I tried telling him he had to put it on, and he just threw a huge fit. I finally just stripped him down naked and told him his daddy and big bubba and sissies are leaving and if he did not get on his costume, he would have to stay home with me and my two year old. I am seven months pregnant and was staying home. Still, it did not work. I tried everything. The way we finally got it on him was kinda funny. I told him that he was a baby and had to stay home. I got all his sisters and brother to say "derin is a baby" and then my husband was joking around and tried stuffing him up my shirt so he could go stay with the real baby. Then he said "otay mammy, I will wear it if I can be a big boy". He finally got into it. And right before they left, i said "bye big boy" and he said "yeah mammy! I am a big boy so I can say shift and bamint and duck you and a*s joel and go to Heller!!!!" He ended up trying to say half the words in the book, but luckily they came out like bamint instead of damn it!!! I laughed the entire night!!!! I hope you can find a better way to dress him up than this! GOOD LUCK!!!

Simple tell him either he wears the costume or he doesn't go to the party and stick to it.

is it such a big deal ! so much so you have to stress your child out in order to wear the superman outfit so if you leaving in two hours , take the out fit with you just in case he changes is mind then you can get him into the out fit problem solved.
