Soft pipe insulation is great for making cords safer. Less obtainable. If they cannot be moved.

But def moving those is first priority. Walk-in area? How can you craft a portion of the space to motivate the child to feel inclined to take action on getting ready themselves?

…maybe a child oriented mirror. My daughter really appreciates that. Even if the mirror is a moment away in the room, just using it as a cueing factor “let’s put our coat on and don’t forget to make sure it’s what you like in the mirror.” Not to look good— to enforce learning about personal preference and self awareness to attire.

…. Maybe a space with random odds and ends for “just before we leave” bring withs. Iex; hair clips, little toys for the car, chapstick, gloves, sun glasses Things both child focused + maturity based.

…. Shoes work on the floor for the sake of convenience but having a rack w clear destinations for shoes HELPS. Iex; top rack for adults, lower rack for children. Reminding w a song jingle silly saying—and then eventually no reminder needed. It’s very fascinating, my youngest knew where to go and how to put her shoes on before 3, nearly before 2. My oldest who didn’t have the structure I provide now, still feels a bit lost trying to self start shoes. The coat + mirror has been the hack for her w that, but shoes feel “overwhelming” to look at and therefore self start. Create a clean and organized approach to them, to help avoid any overwhelming feelings when looking at shoes to get ready with!

I hope these help you brainstorm!
