Getting a little one to brush without a standoff? It usually comes down to making it feel less like a chore.
Brush together. Kids copy what they see, so let them watch you do it first.
Let them choose. Their own toothbrush, their own flavor of toothpaste. A small say goes a long way.
Keep it the same every day. Same time, same spot, morning and night. Once it's just part of the routine, the pushback fades.
Two minutes, twice a day, and a lot of patience. You're doing great.
