From the age of three, children should learn to brush their teeth on their own and insist on brushing their teeth every day. Good brushing habits will benefit your baby for life.
However, some babies don't like to brush their teeth. It gives Mom and Dad a headache. What is the solution to this thorny problem?
Today I will share with you five small ways, simple and easy. Mom and Dad might as well give it a try, test it effectively, and see how I do it:
First, tell the child about the harm of not brushing his teeth.
I said to my children: Everyone has to brush their teeth. If you don't brush your teeth, your little mouth will stink and your teeth will turn yellow and black.
I found some relevant pictures and showed them to the baby. Pointing to the picture told him: "How ugly it is to turn your teeth yellow and black, and your mouth stinks." Who wants to play with such an unhygienic child? “”
There is a picture and a truth, the baby's eyes are spinning straight, thoughtful, I know that brushing his teeth has attracted his attention.
I further emphasize to the child: if you do not brush your teeth, over time, you will also cause tooth decay (worm teeth).
Tooth decay will cause toothache, toothache, your little face will swell up, you can't eat, you can't sleep... It's not good to taste.
I will also tell a story to the child, through the storyline, fully reflected: toothache is not a disease, the pain is really terrible. In this way, it plays an empathetic role for children.
Toothache, if not cured, will eventually be pulled out. Teeth pulled out, talking will run the wind, can't gnaw on bones, can't bite hard things... When people see you, they will shout: "Little open teeth."
My baby was not happy when he heard it, haha, the effect was immediate.
Second, tell your child about the benefits of having healthy teeth.
I said to the child, "My little baby, with a mouth full of white teeth, smiles so beautifully." It is a beautiful baby that is loved by people. ”
We can sing, dance... Join the little ones in various performances and applaud you.
Healthy teeth can help us bite, chew and nibble on all kinds of food. After eating a variety of nutritious things, we can grow up.
3. Take your children to buy dental appliances together.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and tooth cups in major supermarkets.
Especially children's dental appliances, which come in all shapes and colors. Very attractive for small children.
Let your child pick one of their favorites to stimulate your child's interest in brushing their teeth.
Fourth, take your child to watch some cartoons about teeth.
Many children enjoy listening to stories and watching cartoons.
So I found some popular science videos and cartoons about caring for teeth and watched them with my kids.
I recommend "Little Red Face and Little Blue Face" to everyone. This is a cartoon that teaches children to protect their teeth.
With a strong breath of life, the use of anthropomorphic techniques.
Children love to read and understand, which can bring inspiration to babies who don't like to brush their teeth.
Many years ago, my son watched this cartoon and was willing to brush his teeth.
"Elf Love Tooth Lecture Hall" belongs to the oral health knowledge short film.
Tell the knowledge of oral health care with a small story of life and ease and humor.
There are also baby bus animations and gollum animations, both of which have videos of teeth stories. Suitable for children's psychology, so that babies are willing to accept brushing.
[Tips]: In order to protect your eyesight, the baby's time to watch cartoons should be well controlled
5. Interact with your child to brush your teeth.
Children are naturally imitators. While brushing my teeth, my baby and I stood face to face.
Start with the first step of squeezing toothpaste and do a demonstration. The action must be slowed down, teach the child to brush up, brush down, brush left, brush right...
Cooperate with the limbs and perform rhythmic movements. This motivates your baby.
Before I knew it, I brushed my teeth happily, and finally I never forgot to say something encouraging to my child.
In short, remember that no matter how strong a child's resistance to brushing his teeth is. We should not be too impatient, and we must be patient enough.
It is necessary not to rush to achieve results, nor to give up lightly. According to the characteristics of young children, it is necessary to guide them in a different way.
The main skill of teaching children is to turn what children should do into a kind of play.
One day, your child will love brushing their teeth.
P.S. Teach your child the correct way to brush their teeth:
1. Brush your teeth every morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals.
2. Brush your teeth, brush vertically up and down, and do not brush left and right.
3. Brush your teeth for at least 3 minutes each time.
4. Brush your teeth at a water temperature of 30 to 35 degrees.
5. After brushing your teeth, rinse the toothbrush and shake it off. Place the toothbrush head up.
6, brush your teeth at night, do not eat before going to bed, especially sweets.
