Guidelines for clothing

LTI is inspired by Magda Gerber’s Educaring approach, which is based on trust and respect on the child as a self-learner, self-initiator and a capable human being, as well as encouraging movement and independence.
Clothing should be the right size – not too tight and not too loose.
Make sure that the arm- and leg holes are comfortable for your child; that your child is able to open and close the buttons, if any; that the pants are soft to allow free movement and would not restrict movement in any way. Please try to avoid clothing that drape.
Shoes should be the right size – not too big and not too small.
The right shoes are ones that your child can easily put on by themselves; only provide shoes with laces when your child is able to tie the shoelaces themselves.
