Use towel
Drying off after a bath isn't always pleasant. For some children the terry tickles, for others it scratches, and some prefer to stand and air-dry for a moment first. The visual support below lets the child see drying as a choice, not a demand.

About this visual support
Terry towels are built to scrub water off efficiently, and that efficiency is exactly what makes them uncomfortable for many children. When the skin is wet and warm every fiber feels sharper, vigorous rubbing can tickle intensely or read as scraping, and thin cold arms against a stiff towel are nowhere near the warm welcome adults sometimes assume.
A visual support gives room to dry off in more than one way. Pressing the towel against the skin instead of rubbing, starting from the head or from the feet, or standing still in the towel like a cape for a moment before drying begins. When the pictures show that all of these are okay, the step stops being a fight about the right method and becomes a choice the child can make.
A towel-specific tip: keep a softer towel reserved for face and hair, and a rougher one for the rest. Many children can tolerate coarser fabric on arms and legs but not on the face. In Routined you can place the towel as its own step after bath or shower and let the child pick a drying style from the sequence.
