Toddler Brushing Teeth

My sons is 25 months and it is a fight everyday to brush his teeth. He screams and cries.

Any suggestions on how to get him to start doing it himself?

TIA

Re: Toddler Brushing Teeth

at one point we had 2 brushes. I used one on her and she chewed on the other.

I sing a brushing teeth song. DH counts her teeth as she brushes.

Sometimes I pretend to brush a toys teeth.

Sometimes I have to hold her down and brush them haha

Oh and she really likes to put the toothpaste on. I try and hold the tube with her.

Toddler Brushing Teeth

We make it a fun thing every morning/evening. We brush our teeth with him. And he wants to do what mommy and daddy do.

We are at the point now where we have to fight him to give us the brush back.

We bought a Yo Gabba Gabba one that actually sings the theme song and he goes nuts for it!
