Toddler insists on wearing a hoodie even in warm weather and resists taking it off
My toddler has gotten very attached to wearing a hoodie with the hood up, along with pants, regardless of the weather.
Even when it’s warm outside, he refuses to take it off. If I or a teacher try to remove it, he usually resists and gets upset. Once he’s outside playing, he’ll run around happily for a long time without seeming bothered, even if he’s clearly getting warm.
I’m trying to figure out how to handle this. On one hand, I don’t want to turn clothing into a daily power struggle. On the other hand, I also want to make sure he’s comfortable and not overheating.
Has anyone dealt with a toddler who strongly insists on certain clothing and resists changes? What approaches actually worked?
