Dressing on their own?

[Captain]

DD is just over 2 1/2 and she has made absolutely no effort to try and dress herself. I wasn't worried about this until I started helping a friend with her DD who is the same age. I found that she can almost completely dress herself.

What ages do your kids start dressing themselves or at least try to dress? I'm really curious about this and wondering if I should be doing more to help her learn.

TIA

My DS started at about 3 years, he is 3.5 now & can dress himself really well. He started out by helping me dress him

Zander can do his undies & pants, has been able to for maybe 5-6 months. His tops he still struggles with a bit. Socks & shoes are ok as long as they're not too tight.

ETA: He is 3 years & 2 months.

Yasin is 3 years and 6 months and sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't dress himself. It depends on his mood. if you ever see me with a small boy dresed in backwards pants, a shirt that clashes horribly and sandals with socks he decided to dress himself (or DH did it).

Chloe! I have to pick out DS's clothes for him or the exact same thing happens! DH is equally as guilty!

My MCHN asked if Iz helps me today and I said other than raising her arm - NO! She just turned one, I thought it was an odd question for this age group!!! I wouldn't worry too much - maybe just some gentle encouragement with zips etc and lots of praise will help!
