My 1 and 3 year old will only wear flip flops , which was ok being summer but now its getting colder and I cannot get them put on shoes, I took them to a shoe store to get them to try on new ones and they wanted nothing to do with them . I know if I throw them out they will go bare foot , I just dont know how to get them to wear shoes . Any suggestions I would love TIA.

Have you tried letting them pick out their own big kid shoes....Sometimes all it takes is a certain character to wow them into shoes. rolling_smile.gif


For your 1 year old I would try Robeez....My son loved those. He had the shark pair, some monkeys, baseballs and footballs. They dohttp://www.robeez.com/Department.aspx?DeptID=55&PriceCat=2&Lang=EN-US&RefID=YHUS_robeez&SID=3a03417e-3d55-4320-a0a7-4ba7f1f4e073 make some styles up to 4 years and I never had a problem with my son pulling them off.

I'm a "mean" mommy.
Last winter my 3 year old liked to take her shoes off in the car. She thought it would make me carry her into the house when we get home. I refused and made her walk. Even if the garage floor was freezing, she walked. After a few times of that She kept her shoes on.

laugh.gif That's Megan. She wears her rain boots ALL the time and not just when it's raining. Her attire is usually a dress or skirt/shirt and rain boots. I told her I need to get her some cowgirl boots so the outfit looks a bit better. rolling_smile.gif
