Make it a quest instead of a reminder
Instead of repeating the instruction, start with a tiny story. In Mess Monsters this routine opens like this: “Sock Tangler wants to move, but needs to get ready first. Shall we prepare for sports?”
You stay the game master. Your child does the real step, you confirm it on your phone, and Sock Tangler gets a little happier with every step. The phone stays with the adult; the routine happens in the real world.
