It’s Better Together
Depending on the age of your children, brushing their teeth may be a time filled with anxiety. One thing that may help is making the morning brushing routine a group activity. Some children become more willing to do specific tasks when mom and dad are right there. Teeth brushing can be a quick way to bond before starting the morning rush.
Use Music
Another strategy that can help your children enjoy brushing their teeth is playing their favorite songs while they brush. The music can be an additional comfort factor for them and give them something to look forward to whenever it’s time to take care of their teeth. Just be ready to sing along to help motivate them to join the fun.
Use a Timer
To some kids, brushing their teeth may seem like endless torture. One way you can help reduce some complaints is to set a timer to help them know when brushing time is done. Most experts advise that children brush their teeth for two minutes. If you’re looking for a way to add an element of excitement to your brushing routine, having a timer handy can give your children a countdown for them to beat to make sure their teeth are clean.ย
