The spoken lesson
"Bath time helps clean and care for the body. Before the bath begins, the caregiver prepares the towel, clean clothes, diaper, and everything else that is needed. The caregiver checks that the water feels comfortably warm. The caregiver supports the baby's head, neck, and body and stays close every second. Hands, arms, feet, hair, and skin are washed gently. The baby's head stays clear of the water. After washing, the caregiver lifts the baby securely, pats the skin dry, and puts on clean clothes. A baby is never left alone in or near bath water." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use a clear sequence with one action per card. Do not display bath time as unsupervised play. Avoid deep-water imagery, splashing competitions, or countdowns.

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.
