Eat cereal
Crisp flakes turn soggy within minutes, and that is often where breakfast stalls. The visual support below maps the path from bowl to last spoonful while the crunch is still there.

About this visual support
Texture is the real story when cereal is on the table. For many children the gap between crisp and soggy is not a small nuance – it is two different meals. After three minutes in the milk the first meal has already become the second one, and a child who happily started eating suddenly pushes the bowl away.
That is why visual support works best when it shows tempo, not just sequence. The picture of pouring milk sits late in the row, right next to the spoon, instead of together with pouring the flakes. Seeing that order helps ears and hands learn that the milk is a last step – a signal that now we eat while the sound is still right.
One small trick: keep a tiny jug of milk beside the bowl and place a refill card on the strip. Then nobody has to flood the bowl in advance and let everything soak. If you want to wrap the whole morning into a routine with timer and check-off, you can try Routined free for 14 days.
