we've tried with our two year old using nice flavoured tooth paste, let him brush his own while we brush, make up songs to sing along...etc.作者: jackieee 時間: 2010-7-26 13:53
I just told my son the bugs will go into his mouth at night if he doesn't brush off the food remnants from his teeth and tougue. And while I help him brush his teeth, we actually talk about all the food he had for lunch and dinner, such as rice, vege, candy, meat,etc. That way he thought he was really brushing something off. Hope this helps...作者: s1010221 時間: 2010-7-27 09:53
I used many methods to motivate my 2 and 8 months old daughter to brush her teeth daily:
1. take a picture of clean teeth after she brushed her teeth
2. present some awards to her if she did it, eg. hang a medal to her neck
3. pretend to put some tooth bug in her mouth and explain to her the bug will damage her teeth, let's brush it away and spit it out, sometime I pretend a bug and say "Oh, no, please don't brush me away, I want to eat your teeth". My daughter feels funny and requested me to pretend again and again.
4. show her ugly picture of damaged teeth
I think brushing teeth is not a funny thing for a child. So we'd better make it funny until it become a habit. Each above method is work for somewhile and I shift to another one if it is not work anymore. But she likes method 3 most.作者: angelawong930 時間: 2010-7-30 01:59
