Very good idea how to teach them
It was very helpful to me. I share custody and don’t always have my great granddaughter with me, but we are teaching her sign language and one of the grandmothers is teaching her Spanish, so the signing for brushing and the songs will help me.

That’s a good first step. Try experimenting with different kiddie toothpaste flavors. Hopefully, your toddler will latch on to a fave flavor soon. Good luck!

Iam having a hard time getting my two year old to brush her teeth? Any advice
Hi,
Maybe you should try various flavored toothpastes based on her favorite fruit flavors. Also, reflect on the usual setting or situation before you try to get her to brush her teeth. If there is anything unpleasant in that routine for her, she will naturally associate something negative as well to brushing her teeth. Don’t be afraid to try new tactics for getting her to brush her teeth, and try to inject positive associations with these as much as possible. Good luck!
