I have to make it a game or competition. And I usually have to brush his teeth for him since he thinks biting the brush is brushing! lamariniere on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531781 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:34:20 +0000 lamariniere 2531781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter is the opposite, we have to practically pry the toothbrush out of her hands every single time. My son is much more docile about it and never puts up a fight either way. looch on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531776 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:22:27 +0000 looch 2531776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Well, I don't know if he really wants to, but he does it without protesting. irene on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531685 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 22:03:39 +0000 irene 2531685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, but he also knows if he doesn't brush his teeth it will turn yellow and have cavities. This I have to thank our school as they have tooth fairy visits and they really talked about the importance of dental hygiene.

They do the whole shebang - brush, floss, mouthwash. yellowbird on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531548 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:46:54 +0000 yellowbird 2531548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter does. Only because I found this weird story on my phone called Sam and the sugar bug and she's afraid a sugar bug will come if she doesn't. If we forget she will yell out from her bed to remind me. My son HATES brushing. We have to hold him down and he screams like we are killing him. mauxie on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531484 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:00:54 +0000 mauxie 2531484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They loooove doing mouth wash and floss but don't care so much for the actual brushing. twodoghouse on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531470 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:45:50 +0000 twodoghouse 2531470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They're still young (almost 2!), but brushing their teeth is their favorite thing ever! Any time we are upstairs they try to escape to the bathroom to brush teeth. When they go into the bathroom for bathtime they usually try to get up on the stool to brush right then (we make them wait till after bath): for their upcoming birthday I bought a whole variety of fun character toothbrushes and I guarantee that will be their fave present! I hope it always stay this way, but I doubt it! regberadaisy on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531442 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:29:19 +0000 regberadaisy 2531442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wouldn't say they *want* to but they do. The younger one will let me get in a few quick brushes. mrbee on "Do your kids *want* to brush their teeth at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-want-to-brush-their-teeth-at-night#post-2531431 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:22:53 +0000 mrbee 2531431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine emphatically do not. Every night is a battle! It got a lot harder when they got older...
