Two-year-old boy does not like getting brushed teeth
Question:
Hello
Our boy of 2 years has never really liked to have brushed teeth and now he has become more independent, it is almost impossible without us feel that we make assault on him. We try to sing, read books, exchange ml normal toothbrush and electric but he screams and screams and writhes. Finally, I hold his head mL my legs and get it over with. But I do want it to be a good daily cheerful hours and not a struggle.
Sincerely, Wendy
Answer:
Dear Wendy,
I think I go about it the wrong way. It would be much worse if your son got holes in your teeth because you do not brush them. He will eventually give up and accept to have brushed your teeth. There are more parents in the same situation as you. It's very frustrating, but hang in there because it gives paw in the end.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
