Put on underwear
Underwear is the step that most often gets skipped. It is private, fast, and lands in the middle of a sequence where attention has often moved on. The visuals below give it its own slot without turning it into a big deal.

About this visual support
Underwear is a small step that still belongs in the middle of the sequence, between the clothes on the chair and the trousers and top going on. When the child is already thinking about breakfast or the school run, it is easy to forget, and the gap only shows up hours later in the bathroom.
A visual support gives the moment its own card, no bigger and no smaller than the others. Seeing it sit next to socks and trousers reminds the body of the order without anyone needing to say it aloud. That protects both privacy and the rhythm of the routine.
A concrete tip: place underwear on top of the pile the night before, so it becomes the first card in the sequence and not the one that slips. Inside the Routined app, you can slot it between getting out of bed and the rest of the dressing steps, so the order is held in place every morning.
