My 3year old does not want to wear worm clothes I bought for her. She wants to wear light clothesand then she was catching colds. She gave us such a hardtime and resistance that we forced to give up.
Also she doesn't let us teach her to draw, she just want to scrubble something she wants.

I would let her scribble and you can draw next too her and she may want to mimic otherwise in due time. The warm dressing issue is different though. I would choose to fight this battle if it is compromising her health. Try asking her how fast she could put them on or something fun. I have my son thinking his wool knee length pea coat is a spiderman jacket like his boots that he is so in love with otherwise he would still be in a fleece. My friends son is very anti change and protests everything from season clothing changes to sock lengths.

I agree with the scribbling. She's only 3 and that's how kids learn. As for the clothes I would pack away all the light summer clothes and then they aren't there to fight about. Remember she's the child and you are the adult. If you let her have her way on everything at age 3, she may be very wild by the time she's a teen because she knows that if she fights it, you'll give in.

I just wanted to add that cold weather does NOT cause colds regardless of what they wear.....only a virus can cause a cold or other sickness.

I agree with shelliam....make it a fun game.....tell her "I bet you can't put your clothes on by the time I count to 100...etc.....
