Try Using Music
Try using a song, like the alphabet, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” or another familiar tune to help your little one remember how long they should be washing their hands.
Show by Doing
It’s helpful if you wash your hands alongside your child. This way, you can show them all of the steps, how to get a great soap lather, and for how long they should wash their hands for.
Buy Fun and Special Soaps
Young children love items in their favorite shapes, so if you buy fun soaps that resemble animals they love or their favorite Disney characters, they will be more likely to use them. You can make these soaps just for your child to use, which makes them special, too.
Gently Remind Your Child When Need Be
Young kids forget things fairly quickly, and it takes time to make things a habit. Gently remind your child when need be to wash their hands, and be prepared to help, too.
