Bushing teeth?
You're doing everything right. What worked for me is I made a BIG DEAL when I brushed My teeth. I'd say "Yippee! I'm brushing my teeth! This is SO much Fun! Yummy the toothpaste is SOOO good! My Mouth feels Fresh!" Etc.





Three year olds like to do what you do. They like what you like if you make a big enough deal over it.
Reply:That's also how I got my kids potty trained early. I made a BIG DEAL about going to pee. "I'ma BIG GIRL!" I don't wear diapers!





They like.....what YOU like. It always works. Report It

Reply:Try a new flavor every night.
Reply:That can be a really hard thing to get kids to do. A few things to try:


Point system, she brushes her teeth gets so many points, or stickers or something, then she gets a prize she can pick out at a toy store or that you already have





OR





Try a shock kind of thing, show her pic. of rotting teeth and telling her about it. It might get her to do it. I know i didn't brush my teeth for a long time, and then my Dr. showed me pic. now i have to brush or I feel so dirty.





Hope this helps
Reply:Well, reward her perhaps give her 50 cents each time she brushes her teeth, and at one point she may realize that she needs to brush, so her breath doesnt stink, or cause diseases, or maybe take her to a dentist or make her watch a cartoon explaingin the importance of brushing your teeth
Reply:brib her or let her do it try getting hotwateron it or bubblegum toothpaste and say ill give u a chocolate if u let me brish ur teeth!
Reply:Sometimes when you want little kids to do something, it's more fun to do things as a group or make things a competition. If you show her that other kids are doing those things and some of them are even doing better than her, then she'll want to do it well too. Don't purposely say she's bad at it because that destroys a child's confidence. Why don't you try brushing your teeth with her or compete to see who can brush it better or faster, etc. Give rewards and stuff.
Reply:I would brush my teeth with my daughter showing her how much fun it was. I would sing songs about it whatever I could to show her it was fun. Now she is 2 and everytime I say lets brush she runs to the bathroom! Keep doing what you are doing and she will come around. Good luck
Reply:my 3 year old used to hate brushing his teeth and then he got over it and likes it. i bought him thomas tooth paste and a fun dolphin tooth brush that vibrates from costco. he likes to try to put the paste on himself. my 2 year old hates it and cries, and i feel like the more he screams and cries the better b/c his mouth opens wider for me to get in there and do it myself.


do it for her and if she complains, know that it will pass!


my oldest son seemed to get over it when a buddy of his put some fake rotting teeth in his mouth and he saw them and i told him if he didn't brush his teeth his would look like that. now every time he brushes, he says - i don't want my teeth to look like mason's teeth! and brushes them. its pretty funny.
Reply:she may have some cavities that hurts when she brushes. or she just doesn't like it. check it out with your dentist, as cavities are very common in young children.
