I am struggling to brush my daughters teeth and her hair, sometimes it is a real problem, her teeth do not look as good as they used to and her hair sometimes looks like it has been dragged through the hedge backwards , has anyone got any tips . she is six years old ;)
Completely understand we have the same problem with my six year old with regards teeth brushing. I bought him an electronic brush, which he choose, as i thought at least if we do not ge to the recommended two minutes twicea day it will be a good brush with the electronic one ! We also bought a colourful bathroom clock and let him see the two minutes he was supposed to brush for, it really helped. Also we use a mouthwash as a backup for hygiene incase he missed bits! The dentist said at the age of six we should really be brushing his teeth for him but there was no way he would let us do that so this is as good as we could get. We supervise as much as possible also.
Hope this is of some help, some really good tooth brushing videos on you tube also for extra encouragement! Grannies false teeth also come in handy as a "this is what happens if you dont brush" example!
