    I brush for them until they are about three, then I brush for the first minute and let them do it for the second minute while I supervise.

      We do the same thing Kayla. I think I’m going to get out the timer to make sure we’re doing it long enough though! Thanks for dropping by! Best, Sue

    Thank you for the giveaway!! We have littles at my inhome daycare and my own children in my home, so that’s a lot of mouths to brush! Resources can definitely help with those that aren’t interested in traditional things to encourage them. If I win the $100 gift card, I will buying each child a new toothbrush! Yay for National Brush Day!!

      Whew! That IS a lot of teeth to brush! Best of luck with the contest and thanks for dropping by! Best, Sue

    We always make brushing a fun event with music which makes them happy and want to brush their teeth and take part in oral hygiene. It’s like a dance party.

    • Sue Lively says

      Awesome idea Elle! I think it’s time to get a stereo in the bathroom. Thanks for sharing! Best, Sue

    My tip is just to be there for them, with them, during the times they are going through the routines. This way they don’t feel as if they are missing out on something while accomplishing these tasks.

    • Sue Lively says

      October 28, 2014 at 7:52 pm

      I agree that’s so important tammigirl! I try to brush my teeth at the same time as my son, and that seems to help too. Thanks for dropping by, Sue

    We brush our teeth together so that he sees a good example

    • Sue Lively says

      October 28, 2014 at 7:52 pm

      Right there with you Shannon – modelling is so important. Thanks for dropping by! Best, Sue

    My daughter actually LOVES to brush her teeth (she always has which we’ve always found strange)…the only problem is she likes to do it herself and she doesn’t do a thorough job always

    • Sue Lively says

      October 28, 2014 at 7:54 pm

      That’s tricky Lisa. Good that she’s independent, but tough when you know how important it is to be thorough. A mixed blessing! Hope it gets easier. Best, Sue

    I play thier favorite song or sing puff the magic dragon for them while they brush!

    • Sue Lively says

      October 29, 2014 at 2:04 pm

      Thanks for sharing! Best, Sue

    Nope! My best friend is a hygienist so they have always done well.

    • Sue Lively says

      October 29, 2014 at 7:13 pm

      Nice! Thanks for dropping by! Sue

    My trick is routine they have to brush their teeth after breakfast and after dinner, I am always on them about it.

    • Sue Lively says

      October 30, 2014 at 12:53 pm

      That’s another great way of making sure it happens – make it a HABIT! Way to go mama! Thanks for dropping by! Best, Sue

    i always let them pick a toothbrush they like so they will be more excited to use it and we brush together

    I have her use her own sonic toothbrush, and remind her to use the full cycle (2 minutes)

    we start learning to teach them at around 3 years old since thats when they grow teeth

    We use a timer. I am enjoying reading your blog!

    • Sue Lively says

      November 7, 2014 at 2:33 pm

      Yep – been considering that Holly! Thanks for sharing. Best, Sue
