My DD keeps pulling her clothes out of her dresser drawers. How can I get
her to stop her from doing this. She is also pulling the clothes out of her brother's dresser as well. I have done the you gotta pick it up and give me the clothes to put away. I have done the cleaning myself but this is starting to get very irritating. We don't have another place to put the dressers there is no room in our bedroom. Any ideas would be accepted at this point. DD just turned 3. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 (devil in disquise) Alex 6/4/05 |

I don't know if you have already tried these and maybe your daughter
has already figured them out, but you can buy litle cabinet/drawer safety latches. We have pourchased them at Babies R Us and at Target. Here is a link to the style we used so you can see the picture and/or purchase on line. My son doesn't go after drawers too much, so I am not the best to say how well they work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=baby-products I have heard good things about the magnetic lock, that it is worth the higher price: http://perfectlysafe.stores.yahoo.net/totstarkit2l.html http://store.babycenter.com/product/...=11-13425236-2 Here are some other varieties of drawer latches: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=baby-products http://www.hechinger.com/web/catalog...F58624524E1DD8 http://www.babyhomesafety.com/kitchen.htm Good luck!

I know some are easy for kids to learn how to get round but I've recently bought a set for cupboards that screw on and have some kind of magnetic lock on them that you can only open with a "key" (a sort of magnetic knob-thing). Needless to say, they're still in the packet, so I don't know how good they are in practice. Cheers Helen |

The only issue I see is that her dresser is an antique and I do not want to
be putting screws into it if you know what I mean. I have tried the magnetic kind but she can still get those open. And my son's dresser is the type that doesn't have knobs on it. so not sure what I'm going to do. Jennifer "happy2bmom" wrote in message oups.com...

Jennifer Then move everything out of those drawers temporarily until she passes through this phase. Banty -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5222154.stm |

Jennifer My sub-optimal solution was not to keep clothes in the dresser while they were in the drawer-emptying phase. I usually just kept the kids' stuff in baskets in the laundry room. I don't think FlyLady would approve, but it was better than having to keep putting stuff away. |

You can't get her to stop it - This is a stage some of them go through. DD#3 used to pull all the books out of the bookcase. But she did it after dinner, and I dealt with it by taking her outside after dinner and walking with her until bedtime. Is there any specific time when she does this? Can you work the schedule so she's not in there unsupervised at that time? Possible suggestions 1) Take the clothes out of the drawers and put them somewhere like a closet or a bookcase or into a drawer in your dresser. If you put the clothing in the linen closet, then you can take the towels and sheets and put them into those drawers. Wedge them in so that they are not easy to remove. If there are no stretchers between drawers, load each drawer from the top so that the stuff sticks up inside and keeps the drawer from being pulled out. 2) Lock her out of the bedroom unless you are right there with her. (Won't work too well if she does this before she goes to sleep at night) 3) If you don't want to put locks on the drawers, or they don't work, then strap the drawers shut (like with those straps they use on suitcases) and maybe face the dressers toward the wall and fix it so that they don't roll (if they have casters on the bottom) by putting the legs into those rubber cups. 4) Switch dressers so that you can use one that you don't mind putting screws into the drawers. 5) Put something into the drawers that you don't mind if she gets it out and let her do it. |

My 2.5 yo likes doing this lately too....my mediocre solutions have been
to a) remove all the 'extra' clothes that she doesn't wear very much and put them up and away out of reach, only keeping the essentials in those drawers (a few undies, a few pairs of shorts and a few shirts), and then b)I have just given up on keeping her clothes folded, and so when she pulls things out I just stick them back in, its not as time consuming as having to keep it all folded and tidy. c. |

Anything that needed to stay unwrinkled got hung in the closet. |
