The spoken lesson
"Washing helps remove sweat, dirt, food, body waste, and some tiny microbes. Your caregiver prepares everything and checks that the water is comfortable. Wash the face gently. Clean around the ears, but never put anything inside them. Wash the neck, underarms, hands, chest, tummy, back, legs, and feet. A trusted caregiver helps clean the bottom and private areas in an appropriate private place. Rinse away the cleanser and pat the skin dry, including skin folds. Washing should be gentle, not painful. Wash gently, rinse, dry, and dress." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use modest, fully covered imagery. Keep the routine predictable and sensory-friendly. Do not use nudity, intimate camera angles, body odour jokes, skin-colour change effects, or cleanliness scoring.

Pause, point, name what you notice, and connect the idea to something familiar in your child's day. Repetition, a calm voice, shared attention and dependable care matter more than finishing quickly.
