Take morning medicine
Mornings start before the brain does, and anything out of sight tends to stay undone. The visual support below puts the medicine first in the order, with water beside it and a clear mark for the moment it has actually been taken.

About this visual support
You are standing in the kitchen trying to remember whether the tablet was actually swallowed or is still sitting on the counter. Morning medicine falls into exactly that gap: the body is slow, the routine is half awake, and the step is so small that it slides past between socks and breakfast.
Visual support works here because it moves the reminder out of your head and into the line of sight. A picture by the tap or inside a cupboard door makes the medicine a visible part of the morning order instead of something you track on behalf of two people at once. For a child who struggles to get going before the tiredness lifts, an image is also a calmer prompt than a voice.
Tie the medicine to something that always happens anyway, such as the glass of water before breakfast or the moment right after brushing teeth, and put the picture exactly there. A cross or a movable magnet afterwards lets both of you see the answer without asking each other. If you want the morning steps with a reminder on your phone, Routined can hold them, free for fourteen days before the subscription starts.
