Brain-Building Tip of the Month
Make bath time fun with a simple bath routine. Set out their towel ahead of time, and use specific words to mark bath time, like “splish, splash” when they get in or “shake, shake” when they dry off. These bathtime routines help your child apply words to actions and learn what to expect next.
