Tell them what the toothbrush is doing…

Have a conversation with your kid about what they are doing and how brushing their teeth can help in killing the germs in their mouth. Use words which catch their attention and hence increase their willingness to learn about it.      

Give them options and choices…

Give your kids the liberty to choose their own toothbrush. There are many fancy sorts of toothbrushes available in the market which will catch your kid’s attention for sure. Kids are more likely to use toothbrushes with their favorite characters on it.

Give rewards…

Create a reward system for your kid. Every time your kid finishes brushing give them a small reward and this will encourage them.
