[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds very familiar to me, it is hard.
I do admit I yell more than I should, and he starts crying whenever I do.  I know I shouldn't yell, but in the moment, all i can think of in response is "but you make it impossible not to yell!"

at least brushing teeth part, Philips sonicare for kids worked very well for our 6yo (I don't work for Philips).  We don't let him use smartphone, except for Philips app.

It is sometime buggy, but i have to say it is designed very well.  It has this character we call him "fuzzy guy" to make brushing fun, plays music while brushing, and once done, you get a reward, like food item and background pictures, or sometime random congratulation comments with special music.

I set the timer for 5 min. and say "let me see what food you get today and let's feed our fuzzy guy together.  if we can complete everything before it beeps, I can do 2 books tonight"

sometimes he needs a reminder, but for most days it works very well.  I was worried he gets bored after sometime and the magic goes away, but it's been 6 months, it's still going well, I need to buy replacement brush head.

It costs more than our toothbrush but I find it well worth it.[/quote]
