[quote=Anonymous]This reaction is wildly out of proportion to what happened. I also don't like the idea of sharing toothbrushes, but kids swap germs all the time and it certainly isn't worth a 20 minute or even two minute lecture. I would apologize to your child about your overreaction last night and just provide a simple gentle reminder that it is important that we each use our own toothbrushes since they can have our germs on it. One sentence is all that is needed. "ohh ew sweetie you can't use your brothers toothbrush. That has his germs on it so it isn't something we share. Oh you liked that it sings? Got it next time let me know and I'll be happy to get you one like that" Done.[/quote]
