The simple answer to the question is to make it easier for children to get dressed, to prevent gloves from being lost and to ensure warm outdoor activities. Yes, that's exactly how it is!
Dressing up moments with children can be serenely smooth, circus tricks, a will to fight or everything in between. Could we adults help the smoothness of dressing moments by choosing clothes that support the child's experiences of success and increasing independence?
In order to make dressing situations smoother, shoes have already been invented without difficult-to-tie shoelaces and tights without having to put on socks separately. How would a glove shirt sound? Thanks to the glove shirt, the gloves slip effortlessly onto the hand when putting the shirt on. And guess what? Gloves can be found where the shirt is! New breaths of relief for wearing the unique innovation glove shirt!
I believe that the following dressing moment based on real events will help you understand why the glove shirt was invented.
It's time to go outside in the daycare center. There is noise and hustle and bustle in the cramped vestibule. Children's clothes are placed on the floor so that it is easy for the child to find and put them on. Soon, however, the floor of the vestibule is like a sea of clothes, a glove here, another here. Gloves of the same color and size change owners without noticing. Getting dressed can be challenging and the tantrums erupt into throwing gloves or hiding. One child stands with his butt straight and his shoes on ready to go outside, another child cannot get another glove on his hand, the third child needs help with glove snaps, rubber bands and stickers and the fourth child cannot get the glove under or over the sleeve. When an adult is helping other children, many children have had time to take the glove off their hand, because it is badly in their hand, in the wrong hand, or the child is already hot and sweaty. Queuing to see an adult, crying and tiredness. An adult looks for a lost glove, but the gloves do not have names or the name tags have been cut off because they rub the child's hand. The next group is already arriving in the vestibule. In order to make the hall space empty, gloves are placed in the hoods of the children's outerwear to be worn outside. As the toddler stomps into the yard, the gloves have fallen off the hood along the way.
Can lack of urgency, positive interaction and the experience of success be realized in the equation of the example? The glove shirt was invented precisely to deal with situations like the example. The gloves are where the shirt is, they are impossible to lose and they don't change hands. Before putting on the shoes and the top of the suit, the glove shirt can be already put on over the head, so the child can practice putting on the shoes on their own, without sweating. After that, threading over the sleeve-glove part of the glove and the hands on the sleeves of the outerwear. Great, we're ready to go outside!
Gloves - Never lost again!
