🪥 When Can My Child Brush Their Teeth on Their Own? 🤔
The short answer: probably later than you think! 😅
Most children need help brushing until around age 6–8, when they have the hand skills and coordination to do a thorough job.
✨ A good rule of thumb:
If they can tie their shoes well, they’re usually ready to brush independently.
Until then:
🦷 Let them brush first
🦷 Then do a quick “grown-up check”
🦷 Make brushing fun with songs, timers, or rewards
