Question: My six year old does not really brush her teeth.  She just plays around and acts like she is. Where as my eight year old son has no problems with brushing his teeth.  The only time she brush for the full three minutes is when I am watching her.

I would think by six she should be able to brush without it be an issue every day two times a day.  Do you have any helpful tips that I could try to maybe make her like brushing her teeth better?

Answer: One way that may make her brush is by brushing your teeth together. Make brushing your teeth a family time where you both brush.  Showing her you can enjoy brushing your teeth may make her want to brush her more.
