How to Teach Kids a Simple Hair, Bath & Skincare Routine

As children grow, everyday bath and personal-care routines can become opportunities to teach healthy habits and independence.

Instead of making personal care feel like another chore, parents can introduce a few simple steps that children can gradually learn to manage themselves.

Start With a Simple Bath Routine

Children can begin learning that bath or shower time has a basic routine: wash, rinse, dry, moisturize, and get dressed.

Younger children will need help and supervision, while older children may be able to complete more of the routine independently.

Teach Good Hair-Care Habits

Show children how to wet their hair thoroughly, use an appropriate amount of shampoo, gently cleanse, and rinse well.

When using conditioner, follow the product directions and rinse as instructed.

Teaching children that more product isn't necessarily better can also help prevent unnecessary waste.

Don't Forget Moisturizing

After bathing, moisturizing can become part of a child's everyday personal-care routine.

Keeping lotion or other frequently used products in an organized and consistent place can make it easier for children to remember the next step.

Make Personal Care Positive

Children often respond well when they are given age-appropriate responsibility.

Instead of simply telling them what to do, teach them why routines such as bathing, hair care, and moisturizing are important parts of taking care of themselves.

A simple checklist can even make the routine more enjoyable for younger children.
