Many children do not like to brush their teeth, and many parents feel that it is a very difficult task to establish and maintain their baby’s interest in brushing teeth, but in fact, it is easy to establish and maintain children’s interest in brushing teeth as long as you catch the knack. First of all, children’s interest in brushing teeth is established mainly through the following two ways: 1, imitation of adults’ brushing action. Parents are the first teachers of children, parents to the behavior of the child’s influence is far-reaching. When brushing teeth every day, parents should consciously let their children look around, and over time, children will naturally have the urge to brush their teeth. In this way, the parent’s brushing posture will invariably influence the child. It can be seen that parents should first have the correct action of brushing teeth. 2, think that brushing is fun, the process of brushing is the process of playing. This is especially true when using musical toothbrushes and animal-shaped toothbrushes. For example, if your child likes monkeys like Sweetie, then you can buy him a monkey-shaped toothbrush and he will feel fine and fun every time he brushes his teeth. Why? Because he thinks the giraffe is brushing his teeth with him and watching him brush them clean. This change from “not liking toothbrushes” to “liking brushing teeth” is very much in line with children’s psychological perceptions. In group life, children see that other people can brush their teeth with a toothbrush, so they think, “Why can’t I do it? So he asks his parents to buy one and use it. These two ways are in line with the psychological development of children at that time. 3-5 years old children are curious about everything in the world, they think everything is fun and want to try everything for themselves. Therefore, as long as the parents induce the children to try brushing their own teeth in time, the establishment of brushing habits should not be a problem. Brushing is a process that involves the hand, mouth and brain, so brushing is also a way to develop the child’s coordination skills and promote brain development. Parents should encourage their children to develop good brushing habits early on. During this period, parents should pay attention to the use of standardized and complete statements, and the words should be with childish interest. For example, “Baby, you have worms on your teeth, now let’s ask the big frog (toothbrush) to catch the little worms off.” The whole process of brushing teeth is like a game, so that children can learn to brush and clean their teeth in the game, and build their interest in brushing teeth in the game. Many parents find it easy to build their children’s interest in brushing their teeth, but difficult to make them stick to it. This is a common phenomenon. It also has to do with the child’s mental development at the time. As we already know, children at this stage are very curious and want to do everything by themselves. But again, this interest is short-lived and can easily shift. How to train children to brush their teeth from an early age? 1. Independent rinsing from the age of 1: Mom and dad can use a finger holder to help clean the teeth of their little ones from 0 to 2 years old. When the child grows to 1 year old, mom and dad can consciously train the child to rinse independently so that the child can get used to this special procedure of letting water in without swallowing. 2, brush your teeth hand in hand: from about 2 and a half years old, all the milk teeth are grown, mom and dad should seriously and patiently teach your child to brush their teeth hand in hand, so that the child master the basic action of brushing teeth. And cultivate the habit of brushing teeth. 3, prepare children’s dental care and toothbrush: when children first learn to brush their teeth, their interest will be relatively strong, so mom and dad should strike while the iron is hot to maintain the child’s interest. You can take your child to buy their favorite dental care products and choose a child’s toothbrush with a soft brush head and a nice appearance to increase their interest in brushing their teeth. 4. Don’t be anxious to brush your teeth, don’t be heavy: you can’t brush your teeth anxiously, when you are anxious, the action on your hand will naturally become bigger and heavier, so you can’t brush cleanly and easily hurt your child. Mom should pay attention to the action of brushing the child’s teeth should be small, each brush a place, to one or two teeth as the target, brush it 10 times. While brushing, count out: “1, 2, 3, 4 ……” Brush and count, after 10 clicks, these two teeth are brushed. In this way, the adults have a number in mind and the baby will not feel that the process of brushing is endless. 5, children are easily interested in various interesting experimental phenomena, mom and dad can go to the dentist’s office or new pharmacy, buy plaque display agent, and do dental cleaning experiments with children. Plaque revealer is a non-toxic and swallowable agent. Mom or dad can dip a cotton swab into the agent, rub it on the child’s teeth, and then have the child look in the mirror to see how the color of the teeth has changed. The child will be surprised to see that where there is tartar on the teeth, the remedy appears red. This way, mom and dad can check if the child’s teeth are clean and also take the opportunity to remind the child to pay attention to dental cleaning. 6. Determine the brushing time for the whole family: If mom and dad are busy at work, then they can choose a certain time in the evening or on weekends to lead their children to brush their teeth together. Let your child feel that brushing his teeth is not a special requirement for him, but something that everyone takes for granted and is a good habit to live by.
