Put diaper in bin

The used diaper has to be rolled up, dropped in the right bin, the lid closed and hands washed before the child is really done. The steps below hold the whole ending together so nothing gets skipped.

About this visual support

A diaper change feels finished the second the fresh one is on, yet that is when half the moment still remains. The old one needs rolling up with the tape outwards, dropping in the right bin – not the regular wastebasket – the lid closed, and hands washed before the child sprints back to play. Skip a piece and the smell tracks through the whole flat.

A visual schedule makes the closing sequence visible by laying the whole ending in a row: roll, bin, lid, tap, soap, rinse, towel. Seen together, the pictures tell the child that the change does not end at the bottom but at the towel. It is also a clean way to hand each step over to the child once they are ready to own it.

A concrete tip: stick the bin-card directly above the actual diaper pail, not at the changing table. The reminder then sits where the action happens. Inside Routined you can chain the full change into a sequence that ends with a hand-wash card, so the child sees exactly where the moment closes.
