Wash front and bottom
The front can be seen and checked, the back is only a feeling in the hand. The visual support below makes the invisible part manageable, with clear steps for how far to reach and when the job is actually finished.

About this visual support
For a child, the back sits somewhere outside the field of vision. The arm has to go round the body, the hand has to reach a little further than usual, and nothing can be checked with the eyes afterwards. What often happens is either a quick swipe that barely counts, or a long uncertain stretch of scrubbing with no way of knowing whether it was enough.
Visual support helps most with that uncertainty. When the steps show front and bottom as two separate jobs, each with a clear ending, your child gets an answer to the question of whether it is done. The pictures replace guesswork with something that can be ticked off by looking.
One thing that tends to solve the reaching: let your child lean forward with one hand on the wall and wash with the other, ideally using a long handled brush or a folded cloth that gives extra grip. The stance lets the arm travel further without the balance going. If you need the same order at the pool or at a relative house, you can put the steps into the Routined app, which you can try for 14 days at no cost.
