When they can’t Button Their Pants
This dilemma tends to be more of a problem for boys than girls. There are a lot of girls pants made with elastic waists, even for the older girls. If anyone who sews is reading this, start a business making older boys elastic waist pants that are cool looking. They can have a fake fly or whatever else they do for the younger boys. After the toddler category all the jeans for boys, for some reason, go right to buttons or hard snaps. Some of our kids are delayed in these fine motor skills are not present till they become a little older. One idea for dress pants that worked for us was; I took the pants to a tailor and had them remove the button and replace it with velcro.

I always thought uniforms were a good idea because it would be so easy to get them dressed in the morning. (No choices) Plus nobody looks weird because everyone wears the same thing.
Don’t know if your school will allow this, but most pants can be made into elastic with a good seamstress. I wish I knew anything about sewing because somebody could make some money with this.
