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: “Bathroom Bubble saw the sun and wants to protect their cheeks. Shall we get ready for the sun?”
You stay the game master. Your child does the real step, you confirm it on your phone, and Bathroom Bubble gets a little happier with every step. The phone stays with the adult; the routine happens in the real world.
