Teaching kids

So I've decided to bite the bullet and start speaking spanish with my kids all day. I'm so afraid of making mistakes that will be made permanent in their brains! I have discovered that most of the day is commands, negative commands, and "I will_____ for you." So one question I have is if I'm saying these sorts of things correctly: te ato los zapatos, te lavo los dientes, te quito la camisa, te cambio el pañal...

Thank you Hokuten. Yes I know these are not commands though commands are what I have to use the rest of the time! wink I think being with kids is a unique language situation where i am always explaining what I'm doing for them. Thanks for verifying! That is encouraging.

Yes, they are correct. Though I'm not sure if you are taking those as commands or not, because they are not. You are telling/teaching them what you are doing. But grammatically speaking, they are perfect.
