Does any ones little one hate having their teeth brushed? I’m lucky if my son lets me get his teeth brushed once a day. This morning he was throwing a fit, throwing his head into walls, and I had to wrestle him to the ground to brush his teeth. After a few seconds he could care less but I don’t understand the point of the huge fight before. What can I do to make teeth brushing more exciting for him? If that’s even a thing

Do you let him watch you? Because that's why my daughter likes to I think she watched big brother brush his so when she wants too

@gallofamily.6, I try to let him watch me, and then he’ll just suck the toothpaste right off of the brush and leave. I try showing him how to brush but he doesn’t want any part of it😕

Brush together, let him pick a tooth brush n tooth paste, they have cheap electric tooth brushes with timers or song also

@boymom_, we’ll have to go to the store in a bit and let him pick out a toothbrush and toothpaste, maybe something colorful and cool looking will interest him in it!

@kcamps totally possible, that's what I did with my older one cuz he didn't wanna brush either

Youtube have fun kiddie videos on how long to brush for and stuff make it an adventure.

@memybumpandi, I texted my sister in law and I guess my 4 year old nephew was the same way. She sent me a cute teeth brushing video she found on YouTube that helped him. Fingers crossed it helps!🤞🏻

@kcamps, boys! Haha! Hope it works!

@kcamps im sorry my kids have always been interested I guess so im not much help. Maybe try a reward system?

@gallofamily.6, don’t be sorry! I appreciate any kind of tips or advice I could possibly get. I’m going to try to let him pick out his own toothbrush and I found a fun video about brushing teeth so I’m hoping those will work🤞🏻
