How to make a child brush his teeth exactly as long as necessary: an interesting method

12.01.2024 00:30

Many parents complain that their children perceive brushing their teeth as a formal procedure.

Some toddlers use the toothbrush for only a few seconds, then spit the toothpaste into the sink and return the tool to the cup.

But brushing your teeth should last at least two minutes!

Scolding a child for not wanting to brush his teeth for a long time is pointless: the child most likely really does not understand why this is necessary. And if he does understand, he is too lazy.

It is also not worth constantly monitoring how a boy or girl carries out personal hygiene procedures.

You need to teach your child to brush his teeth for a normal amount of time in a different way.

What item will be needed?

A 2-minute sand clock will come to the aid of parents and their child.

The baby will have something to focus on while brushing his teeth. And he won’t have to “guess” how much time has passed.

Believe me, the child will not refuse to use the hourglass. On the contrary, he will be interested.

The boy or girl will happily begin to observe an important rule of the hygienic procedure: the action will last exactly 2 minutes.
