I have an extremely head-strong 3 year old dcg. The weather has been chilly in Ontario the last few days and she shows up everyday with short-sleeves and a light zip sweater she refuses to wear. The mother doesn't press the issue and lets dcg make the decision whether to wear the sweater or not. First, I'm worried that this is setting a bad precedent for winter (I.e., she chooses whether or not to wear hats, gloves, etc.) and I'm worried that other (younger) kids will follow suit and think what they wear is their call. I don't feel I will get much support from the mom on this because she is mostly concerned with avoiding battles with this child. I've tried to play hardball and put her into the sweater (she just freaks and removes) and point out to her that she is freezing when we are out (curls up and shivers but doesn't put it on). I know this is a power struggle, but, like I said, I don't want this to be a trend amongst the kids with winter approaching. Advice?
