Check Out Our New Website: www.Childsource.ca
We've recently redesigned the website, added a bunch of new features, and also updated the name to reflect our goal of connecting childcare providers and parents. Come check out the preview at www.childsource.ca
Cavity-free smiles and tear-free bedtime routines really can exist in the same home.
Your kid and his pearly whites: (Bonus points if the pearly whites are stained blue from a Popsicle.)
A stool: Optional, but comes in handy when your kid decides to spit "just like Daddy does."
A toothbrush
Toothpaste
Gather your supplies and your kid near the sink.
Go hunting: Peer suspiciously inside his mouth and announce loudly what you see in there. Is there a dog feasting on a chunk of leftover broccoli? Is there an elephant trampling on his tongue?
Let your kid know that it looks like the dog in his mouth needs a serious bath.
Scrub. Scrub. Scrub: It's amazing how wide he'll open (and how little he'll whine) when he thinks you're scrubbing the dog in his mouth instead of his teeth.
Repeat. Tomorrow night he may have cars in need of a carwash. The next night it will be dirt bikes in need of a hose-down. You never know what you'll find in there—but whatever it is, it will definitely need a bath.
