The water temperature or shower spray upsets my child — what helps?

Set the water to a gentle, warm temperature before your child comes in, and let them test it with a hand first. If a shower spray feels too strong, a balti aur mug gives them more control — the step sheet has both versions.

Should I use the shower version or balti aur mug?

Choose whichever matches your bathroom and your child’s comfort — both are equally valid. Many Indian homes use a balti aur mug, and that routine is often calmer and easier to learn on.

My child skips washing some body parts — how do I fix that?

A picture step sheet on the bathroom wall gives a clear order to follow, so no part gets missed. Point to each step together at first, then let your child lead using the sheet.
