1. Go to the bathroom or kitchen sink together. 2. Show the hot and cold handles (or which direction is which). "Red means hot, blue means cold." 3. Turn on cold water. Let them feel it with the back of their hand. "That's how we test — back of the hand first." 4. Slowly add warm. "Feel how it's changing? We want warm, not hot." 5. Rule to repeat: "Always start cold and add warm. Test with the back of your hand."
