Hi this quote from page 340 may help

Physical care routines


Dressing, toileting and hand washing are not only important for children's physical well-being, they are also important because they allow children opportunities to learn new skills and to become independent.



Independence and the ability to do things for yourself raises self-esteem, builds resilience, confidence http://www.handsonscotland.co.uk/flo...onfidence.html and enables children to start taking responsibility for themselves.

Blowing their own nose, taking themselves to the toilet, brushing their own teeth, caring for their hair page 50 has a table showing routines and the opportunities for learning about why these are important.
