Why is it so hard to teach kids to blow their noses?

| Seriously. Just had a 10 minutes session, involving blowing out candles. No dice. |

You can’t do it when they’re congested.
First, take a tissue and you blow it so it moves with your mouth. Then do the same but cover your mouth and the air blows out of your nose. Cheer wildly for yourself. Then have your child do the same and cheer wildly. Taught two kids to blow their noses at around 1.5. |

| Learned in the tub. Put your nose and mouth under the water. Keep your mouth shut, blow bubbles. |

| My 3.5 year old still can’t do it but my 1.5 year old can. I’ve tried hard with both. Who knows? |

| I haven't had this problem - both started blowing their noses around 2. Maybe daycare taught them? |
