How To Teach Your Baby To Love Brushing by InformedLola(f): 6:11pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Getting a young child to brush can be a very exasperating and frustrating experience for many moms and dads. In fact in many homes, it can be a tug of war when it's time to brush with more than one family member having to hold down the screaming and struggling little one. Recall the popular image below? Lol. Below are some tips on how to get your kid to look forward to brushing instead of the other way round: 1. Start Early: This is the most important step. As soon as you see your baby's first little tooth, start gently cleaning it with delicate baby toothbrush that is made with soft nylon bristles and has a small head. You can also use a finger-brush. But remember that your baby's gum is very tender so be extra gentle. With this, by the time your baby grows into a toddler, he's used to the strange feel of a toothbrush in his mouth and more accepting of it. 2. Buy Tooth-brushing Videos: There are some animated videos out there that show kids how to brush in a fun way that adults might not have the time to create. Let your little ones watch these sort of videos often, and let them imitate the cartoon characters at their own pace. You can also let them watch it when it's time to brush. 3. Make Brushing Time Fun Time: You can sing the popular song 'this is they way I brush my teeth..." or their favourite song. Let them brush for you too and even bring their favourite toys into the fun. You can also get a fun tooth brush; one that looks like their favourite fruit, candy or cartoon character. 4. Act Excited Brushing Yourself: You know kids love to copy what adults do and appear to be enjoying. So, make sure you take your kid with you when you want to brush, with his own brush handy, and act like you totally enjoying brushing. He or she would be more interested in joining in.
