Making brushing fun is key to ensuring your child develops good oral health habits.
Too often, brushing is viewed as boring, which makes it difficult for parents to get their children excited about cleaning their teeth.
We’re here to tell you there’s a better way! With an open mind and a bit of enthusiasm, you can make brushing a “can’t miss” event in your home. Here’s how:
Children in Charge!
Children love making decisions.
To make brushing time more fun, have a wide array of brushes and kinds of toothpaste on hand for your child to choose from.
You may even want to let them choose your toothbrush and toothpaste from the Mommy and Daddy section.
When it comes to brushing, let your little one call the shots.
Crank the Music!
Music makes everything more fun!
For brushing time, let your child choose a song to dance to while they clean their teeth.
The song serves both as a timer and a fun activity to make brushing an enjoyable experience.
Plus, it’s another chance for your child to be the boss by taking on the role of DJ!
Unlock the Achievement
Nothing beats the satisfaction that comes with accomplishing a major task or reaching a new milestone. The same is true for our kids.
Consider implementing a program where your child earns a sticker each time they successfully brush their teeth. After accumulating a certain number of stickers or reaching a new milestone, you can reward your child with a special toy or perk!
Achieving good oral health is a lifelong commitment. That’s why making brushing fun from an early age is essential.
With these helpful tips, you can put your child on the right track and increase their chances of long-term success.
