Wash privates
How is a child supposed to know it was done properly when the area is barely mentioned out loud at home? The visual support below answers quietly, with an order to look at instead of a question that has to be asked.

About this visual support
The question rarely gets asked. A child who is unsure whether the wash was thorough usually says nothing, scrubs quickly and hopes it was enough. The area is seldom named out loud in everyday life, which raises the threshold for the child and the adult alike.
Pictures remove the need to talk it through every single time. With the steps up on the wall, your child gets an answer without anyone having to raise the subject, and you can point at picture three instead of describing something that feels awkward to say. Stick to the same words the pictures use whenever bodies come up in other conversations, so the language stays consistent. If leaving the cards on display feels too public, keep them in a small folder your child can pick up on the way into the bathroom.
Routined keeps visual support, a timer and check-off in one app if you want the order with you outside the house. There is a fourteen-day trial at no cost, and the pictures here are free to download.
