[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. [/quote] We use the ipad as a bribe. No pajamas and toothbrush before bed, no ipad the following day. It works as a great motivator for both my NT and ASD kid. Not as well for the ASD kid, but much better than stuff with “delayed gratification” like chore charts.[/quote]
