Wash your body and hair, then dry off and hang your towel.
- 2 stars
- Ages 6 to 12
- Daily
- Morning and bedtime
Children can start washing themselves in the bath with supervision around age 6, and many shower alone by 8 to 10 once they can set the water safely. Bath time is a natural step towards personal hygiene.
Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Washing alone teaches kids to care for their own body and gives them privacy as they grow. It is also a calm way to start the bedtime routine.
Steps for kids
- A grown-up checks that the water feels warm and gentle.
