[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need help. I’ve done everything I can to get my 7yo to brush his teeth. He actually hasn’t done it since last Tuesday. I’m so sad. So so so sad right now. I can’t even list all of the things I have done to encourage it. Maybe can get into it later. But, just assume I have done. My husband has a meeting late tonight so even if I wanted to just call it, and hold him down, it would have to wait until tomorrow. HELP[/quote] You can’t give that big of a responsibility to a 7 year old. It’s like asking him to make sure he prepares and eats his vegetables everyday without your supervision or help/guidance. OF COURSE he’s not going to want to do it! And if all he is supposed to do is mark it on a chart, he doesn’t really *have* to do it. So hell skip it. You need to either brush his teeth for him or stand there and supervise while he does it. Relying on him to do it and mark a chart is way too much responsibility for a typical 7 year old.[/quote]
