Most of my dck are first children and so most of them are babied so I get them started on self dressing and once they can sort of master a certain task I tell the parent and ask them to give the child time and encouragement at home to help things along. Most if the time I am met with a stunned look as they can't believe their child can do something for themselves. It's very good for the child's confidence. makes going outside not feel like such a chore.
