My daughter couldn't decide what to wear for 4th grade and kept changing her mind. Instead of losing my mind like usual dad me would, I just let her lay out all the options on her bed and she ended up picking one herself. No tears, no drama, just done. Maybe I'm getting better at this?
This is the move right here. Instead of power struggling over what shirt she wears, you let her have the control. Honestly genius for avoiding the morning meltdown.
How many times did she actually change her mind before settling on something? My kids do this and I'm like 'okay pick two outfits and that's it' to speed things up.
The fact that you stayed calm through outfit indecision is honestly dad win material. I would've lost it by change number three.

Did you lay out options the night before or was this all happening first thing in the morning? That's always my move to prevent this exact thing.
