This blog post is inspired by a discussion I was having with my very close friend this morning. Like me, she was also encountering difficulties in getting her toddler to brush his teeth. I hope this post will help all the mommies dealing with their wilful toddlers! :) Tip 1: LET THEM PLAY WITH BRUSH- This gets them used to the look and feel of it. And the chewing motion will help in massaging the gums and teeth. Tip 2: USE THE TELL-SHOW-DO TECHNIQUE- First, tell you child how to properly brush.
