Will not brush teeth 🫠

How do you get them to brush their teeth?! My son won’t do it on his own and won’t let me do it either. He just eats the toothpaste off the brush!

I’ve tried songs, books, YouTube. Any other tips?

no tips, we are the same, only thing i can do is wipe his teeth with warm water in the evening when he is allowing me 😂 someone told me it helps, i am not sure 😂

I started by my daughter watching me, then allowing her to hold hers when I brushed mine with no paste on. Then when she started to copy me I'd make it a fun game to add the paste. She won't brush her teeth every day, seems if she's in a "toddler's bad mood" then she won't do anything but growl at me. But keep being persistent. Toddlers are learning so many things and trying to control their emotions so the fact he's put the brush in his mouth is a win. He'll get it, don't worry. X

Sometimes mine will let me, if he doesn’t I just lay him down between my legs and basically wrap my legs over him so he can’t move 😂 him moaning and screaming at me actually makes it easier to brush them anyway 🤣 he’ll thank me when he’s older!
