[quote=Anonymous]I somehow ... didn't know anything about flossing. My parents didn't floss, and I didn't floss. When I took DD to the dentist he literally taught her HOW to floss and how the floss had to get into each side of the gum that goes between each tooth. He told me to get her kid flossers. I got them for myself too bc I am not coordinated enough for grownup floss. We're both excellent flossers. Also, I grew up being heavily shamed when I got lice a few times. But at DD's elementary school any time there was a lice outbreak, we all just put our kids' hair up/back into ponytails or braids or buns and one mom got some oil or ointment or something from Whole Foods that you put around the hairline that prevents lice. I am SO GLAD to have learned this bc otherwise if my DD had gotten lice I probably would have shamed her like my parents did to me. I genuinely thought you get lice from not washing your hair enough and from being a dirty person. [/quote]
