You'll learn how to make handwashing a natural part of the bathroom routine, so your child will do it automatically after going to the bathroom.
When your child starts using the toilet on their own, washing their hands is part of the routine. By doing this together from the start, it becomes a regular part of the toilet routine.
Washing your hands after using the bathroom is the final step. It helps if you make this a regular part of your routine right away.
So, after using the toilet, walk together to the sink. At first, you’ll do it together. Later, your child will be able to do it more and more on their own.
Many children enjoy washing their hands when they know the steps involved. For example: turn on the water, put soap on their hands, rub them together thoroughly, and then rinse them off.
