A mix of making it fun and gently informing them, doing it consistently. This is so important because children learn through constant reinforcements

Repeating the same time can bore them, and using songs actually helps kids to remember things better, as there is a catchy melody

i practice wash hand for my daughter since she is 9 months old, until now she still love to wash hands always

If you remind them enough, they’ll eventually do it without reminder haha

By making handwashing fun. Singing a song or quick counting exercise hahah

Sometimes children learn best through play...so song and dance is fun

Constant reminders and also COVID-19 statistics! Works with my ones!

A check list of when to do it- eg after toilet, and a reward system

Teach them about germs and bacteria which leads them to fall sick

Once you make habit fun, kids will naturally do it themselves
