Children are instinctively afraid of dentists.
My baby lost two small teeth when he was eight months old. At first, I saw the little white spots on my teeth, and I was very happy. I felt cute and looking forward to it. From then on, I began to give him oral care. To train children to brush their teeth, I think as parents, we must persist and do a good demonstration. The baby is very young and has no self-control. At this time, it is very necessary for the family to insist, and the whole family should brush their teeth consistently. In particular, we must do a good job in the ideological work of the elderly, that is, we must never be "soft-hearted."
With the arrival of the baby's terrible second, the resistance to brushing your teeth also followed. I became irritable when brushing my teeth, especially opposed to brushing my teeth, and even cried on the ground. I also had a headache at that time, racking my brains to fight with my children, and I also invented some small punishments in special periods (such as breaking snacks the next day). For this reason, I also had conflicts with the elderly at home.
I always reason with my children, brush my teeth well, and the children don't listen; Adults do demonstrations and teach them to brush their teeth, but the effect is not ideal; When it is time to brush your teeth, you still cry; A hundred people don't want to fool around.
Later, I changed my mind, such as reading picture books and sharing stories about protecting my teeth with my children. Because I have always insisted on parent-child reading, I also believe that picture books can bring subtle influence to my baby. Therefore, the picture book that specializes in brushing teeth for a period of time has a great effect slowly, and children will soon know and be willing to cooperate with brushing their teeth.
