Two minutes of brushing. Twenty minutes of negotiating. Sound familiar? 🪥😅
You’re not the only parent navigating the twice-daily brushing battle. And “because it’s good for your teeth” doesn’t always convince a determined toddler. 💛
Try making brushing predictable—with a little room for choice. Connect it to the same part of your morning and bedtime routine, then let your child pick the toothbrush, toothpaste, or brushing song. Brushing stays non-negotiable, but they get a say in how it happens.
In the “I can do it myself!” phase? Let them start, then make it your turn to help reach the spots they missed. Think teamwork, not a takeover. 🤝
The goal isn’t a perfect routine overnight. It’s one your family can repeat, even on the messy, overtired, running-late days.
Still struggling? Tell us at your child’s next visit. We’ll work together on technique, positioning, and sensory-friendly ideas that fit your child’s needs. 🐝
