[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your dentist say about your 7 year old brushing his own teeth?  Mine said we should allow them to do the first minute and we do the second to ensure it gets done properly. So I brush DC’s teeth twice a day - before I leave for work and before bed.  I would do that for the foreseeable future. [/quote]

How do you physically make it happen for a child who is (currently) hiding under covers? Because he knows I am sitting here with a ready toothbrush.

I love your advice. I’m not disregarding. It’s an excellent piece of advice. I do need help beyond that.

It is obviously larger than brushing.

Does he have a favorite show?  Or something he’s not allowed to watch often (some hilarious YouTube video of people doing stupid tricks, etc). Play it while you brush. He’s only allowed to watch that fun thing during teeth brushing :)[/quote]

This is my favorite idea on the thread.

We don’t allow much youtube. “Must watch with an adult” is the family rule. Like, as long as we are in the room, around. They don’t have tablets so they can’t sneak it. They know the rule at cousins’ and friends’ houses.

Anyway, beside the point… A super dumb YouTube channel would totally work for him. He hears about channels from school that we just haven’t gotten into. It would follow our family rule, and feel special.

Thank you!!![/quote]
