How to effectively make a child happily start brushing their teeth every day?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I would like to tell you about habits – I am sure that this short way will be useful not only for our children, but also for us – adults – but on completely different topics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Habit is such an “automaton”<\/strong>\u00a0– once developed, it works without our conscious effort, because it becomes a natural part of our life – like breathing or washing hands after using the toilet –\u00a0we don’t have to think about it anymore, it becomes a natural part of our lives<\/strong>. A habit is a great help – it makes\u00a0we don’t have to fight with each other or with children to do something<\/strong>\u00a0– that’s why if we develop a habit of brushing teeth in a child, it will become part of our children’s everyday life, and in their – and our – lives, everyday fights will end – not only those with a toothbrush in hand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do habits work and what are they?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our mind does everything to minimize the effort – the mental energy devoted to repetitive behavior that we carry out every day.\u00a0A habit is a regularly repeated activity that does not require our conscious commitment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, the daily struggle for brushing teeth will end as soon as our child develops – with our help, of course – a habit of brushing his teeth – you will never have to motivate your child to brush his teeth again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a curiosity, let me tell you that a habit is also a habitual thought or emotion –\u00a0therefore, the habit is able to change even a hardened pessimist into an optimist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long does it take to get into the habit?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Developing a habit continues …\u00a0from 18 to 254 days – on average 66 days<\/strong>. The most important is your commitment to developing habits in children, and the first 5 days are considered the most difficult.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 basic rules for developing habits:<\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

1. Only one habit at a time<\/h3>\n

In the case of important habits, it is important to knead at the beginning\u00a0only one habit at a time<\/strong>\u00a0– the point is that the child’s full attention should be focused on developing this habit. The more we get involved at the start – the greater the chance of making it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. On the wave of motivation<\/h3>\n

Not only children but also adults, usually\u00a0it’s easiest to start on a wave of motivation<\/strong>\u00a0– and it cannot be denied that for many children it is\u00a0wave and energy can be the joy of having a new toothbrush<\/strong>, suited to his age.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"brushing\"brushing\"brushing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, motivation has the fact that it is a sine wave – it increases and decreases once, so we will only maintain a new habit when we have a good lossEGIE.\u00a0The key to an effective habit is that regardless of whether after a few days or weeks our child is still motivated, he will be brushing his teeth everyday<\/strong>. Ultimately, a good habit will allow your child to act regardless of whether he is motivated or not – so be sure to read the next 3 points to increase the chances of your success.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember when with the Younger Son it was much easier to get into the habit of washing his teeth – he was just imitating his authority – his older brother. Therefore, it is a great idea for you to join your child while brushing the teeth, at least at the stage of developing the habit – it will surely provide you with great fun, and it will allow your child to follow an example from you –\u00a0It is known for a long time that children learn best by not listening but imitating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember that the technique of brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush and an electric toothbrush is completely different – so if you have an electric toothbrush, your child will imitate your movements that will not be effective with a manual toothbrush – and vice versa. That’s why our Maks is waiting for his electric toothbrush – what kind? I’ll tell you below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. A small habit<\/h3>\n

You can start brushing your child’s teeth even with 15 seconds of brushing the teeth – not the duration of the habit at the beginning is the key, but its repeatability.\u00a0<\/strong>Once you develop a habit, slowly, gradually – almost imperceptibly – you will increase the time of brushing your teeth up to 2 minutes – recommended by dentists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The point is to\u00a0the new habit was initially as easy as possible and the motivation as high as possible<\/strong>\u00a0– thanks to this, we increase the chance of developing this habit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"electric<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Idea,\u00a0how much easier it would be for you to get into the habit of doing 5 squats after waking up than 150?<\/strong>\u00a0However, if you get into the habit of doing 5 squats a day, it would be much easier for you to increase the number of squats to 6, 10, 20, 50\u2026 150 squats. Therefore, getting into the habit of brushing your teeth for 15 seconds a day has a much greater chance of success than if you started right away with 120 seconds or 2 minutes and\u2026 both of you got discouraged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So go ahead, get in the habit of brushing your teeth first, and then add the habit of brushing your teeth early in the morning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this way to develop new habits be sure to try on yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Stimulus<\/h3>\n

In order not to forget about developing a new habit, it is worth it\u00a0find an “anchor” for him during the day – another activity that the child habitually does every day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In our country, the first anchor for developing the habit of brushing teeth was the evening bath – our children bathe in the bathtub every evening (thanks to this, it was easier for us to develop the habit of falling asleep, because we also anchored it while bathing). Thanks to this –\u00a0by embedding a new habit under the one you already have – we reduce the likelihood of forgetting a habit<\/strong>when it is still poorly educated and we additionally strengthen it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the evening bath in your home is not so regular, you can try to add the habit of washing the teeth, for example, to dinner – the child always goes to wash the teeth after dinner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Celebration!<\/h3>\n

It is important for the child to appreciate himself after brushing his teeth every day – he can always clap himself, say his favorite rhyme –\u00a0so-called gesture of success<\/strong>. It is important for the child to learn to reward himself, and not only to be rewarded by us – thanks to this, his gesture of success will be solid and dependent on the child himself, and not on external factors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, the celebration function is performed by a family, brush, proprietary counting sheet, which you can make yourself – although it is known that it is easier in a pile!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use the power of small habits<\/h3>\n
\n

During the first 14 days, teach your child to brush their teeth for 15 seconds, and only after the habit is established – increase its intensity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

When should a child start brushing their teeth?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I remember how surprised I was when it turned out\u00a0from 1 clove<\/strong>\u00a0we should introduce\u00a0brushing teeth in children for ritual hygiene<\/strong>. I remember how difficult it was that my children did not even sit during this period! Fortunately, it turned out that the children’s toothbrush – under the care of an adult – is\u00a0a great tool to alleviate teasing symptoms related to teething<\/strong>, and this form of fun made it easier for us to smuggle the brush routine in everyday life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to choose a toothbrush?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each toothbrush should be adapted both\u00a0to the child’s age, and how many teeth he has and whether they are permanent or milk teeth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toothbrush selection guide<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

0-2 years<\/h3>\n

At this age it is recommended to children\u00a0manual toothbrushes<\/strong>, e.g “Oral-B Baby<\/strong>“Toothbrush with the character of Winnie the Pooh – has a soft head that protects delicate gums and soft fibers, and a non-slip handle to protect the gums and gently clean.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"first\"first<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recommending a manual toothbrush to start with has three benefits. First of all, brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush\u00a0supports the child’s manual development<\/strong>and secondly, a manual brush is considered safer because\u00a0does not contain small parts or batteries<\/strong>and thirdly often the child is allowed\u00a0easier to tame oral hygiene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However – as I have already mentioned about the child’s weaker manual skills – it is also connected with the fact that\u00a0a child at this age can treat brushing teeth as a game – of course only under the supervision of the guardian, and the parent is responsible for their proper cleaning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While our toddler has a few teeth, their daily hygiene should not take too much time, but with the increase in the number of teeth, we need to show increasing accuracy, diligence and precision. Because\u00a0an electric toothbrush with a round head can help us here<\/strong>, which, although intended for a child aged 3 to 6, can be successfully used by younger children if it is helped by parents who are responsible for ensuring the child’s safety.\u00a0It will allow us to significantly reduce the time for cleaning teeth and increase cleaning efficiency<\/strong>. How?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The simplest electric brush<\/strong>\u00a0for brushing teeth – for example, the “Oral-B Kids” model for children or the “Oral-B Vitality” model for adults –\u00a07600 oscillating-rotational movements 2D per minute, while an adult man brushing his teeth carries a maximum of 600<\/strong>. A colossal difference – right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"electric<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush is much easier –\u00a0no more scrubbing<\/strong>\u00a0and weaker effects – enough now\u00a0slowly guide the brush tip from tooth to tooth<\/strong>, dedicating a few seconds to each tooth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"electric<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3-5 years<\/h3>\n

At this age, you can also offer your child a brush, besides manual brushing\u00a0“Oral-B Kids”<\/strong>\u00a0with one of the favorite motifs from\u00a0fairy tales – such as Frozen, Toy Story, Cars or Star Wars<\/strong>. You can decide on\u00a0electric version<\/strong>that performs\u00a0gentle 2D oscillation-rotation movement<\/strong>and its head is correspondingly smaller than those for adults, with exceptionally soft fibers – perfect for still sensitive gums, and the built-in timer helps in building the habit of brushing teeth, and then in developing it – the brush lets you know every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For children who need extra motivation to convince themselves to brush their teeth, the Oral-B team has come out against and designed a special\u00a0free application for brushing teeth for children<\/strong>\u00a0Disney Magic Timer<\/strong>\u00a0helping in learning and extending the habit of brushing teeth<\/strong>\u00a0– which accompanies the child while washing the teeth for 2 minutes.\u00a0Studies show that up to 90% of children brush their teeth longer using this application.\u00a0<\/strong>[Oral-B Kids Brushing Study]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All you need to do is download the free application, scan the character from the brush and during 1 or 2 minutes (the time can be set) of brushing the teeth, a picture will appear in the application – 100% visible after this time, at the end the child additionally receives a prize – the screen shows a picture with favorite character from the fairy tale, and in addition, stickers are collected for washing the teeth in a virtual album.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"tooth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6+ years<\/h3>\n

When the first permanent teeth appear, it is worth changing the brush head to one that has\u00a0middle fibers longer than the outer ones – thanks to this structure it will help the child to thoroughly clean the first permanent teeth with characteristic furrows<\/strong>which children find difficult to reach, and in which caries develops first.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electric toothbrush “Oral-B Junior”\u00a0<\/strong>it has a head with central bristles longer than the outer ones – thanks to that much\u00a0better allows children to brush their first permanent teeth<\/strong>that have characteristic grooves on the surface.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compared to the Kids model\u00a0performs a 3D motion – a pulsating motion has been added to the oscillating and rotating motion<\/strong>, thanks to which the brush fibers penetrate deeper into hard-to-reach places, the number of which increases with the number of permanent teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This brush version\u00a0“Oral-B Junior Smart”<\/strong>\u00a0has additionally\u00a0pressure sensor<\/strong>that allows you to protect delicate gums as well\u00a0FunZone add-on in the Oral-B application<\/strong>that transmits information (Bluetooth) to the application in real time and helps to improve your tooth brushing habits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the occasion of the first two permanent teeth, Miko\u0142aj received a new toothbrush – for older kids – just “Oral-B Junior”, and Maksiu received the Kids with a new head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"electric<\/p>\n

For teenagers<\/h3>\n

Toothbrush “Oral-B Teen<\/strong>\u201dIt is in addition to 3D movement as well\u00a03 modes of operation<\/strong>: daily cleaning, gentle cleaning and bleaching. Works great with orthodontic appliances thanks to the replaceable Ortho tips –\u00a0dedicated to orthodontic braces<\/strong>\u00a0and Sensi Ultra Thin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using Bluetooth technology, this brush – like the Junior Smart version –\u00a0\u00a0it connects with the Oral-B application and can be helpful in developing good dental brushing habits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And what adult brush?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I still remember my first electric toothbrush<\/strong>I got for Christmas. I was then in the 8th grade of primary school and I was wearing permanent braces. Although it was a 2D toothbrush –\u00a0the difference was so colossal that I never returned to the manual brush<\/strong>\u00a0for brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"With<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I know perfectly that a smile doubles our possibilities, and I will give you at least 10 reasons here:<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Other people feel better surrounded by people smiling<\/strong>because it increases the chances that we will have a good time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. We tend to reflect the emotions of others – that’s why the company of a smiling person makes it\u00a0we smile more often<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. A smile like nothing else allows us to do\u00a0good first impression<\/strong>\u00a0and arouse sympathy for us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. A smile helps to arouse\u00a0trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. A smile makes you\u00a0we look more competent and confident<\/strong>\u00a0– research shows that professionals smiling in photos are considered more competent and self-confident and more willingly employed by employers and selected by clients.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. We are able to smile\u00a0feel even on the phone<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Laughter has a social function – it helps\u00a0make bonds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Laughter emits in our brain\u00a0happiness hormones<\/strong>\u00a0– endorphins. A smile is a curve that straightens everything\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Smile it\u00a0best anti-stress agent<\/strong>! A smile is a magical grimace – just smile to feel better, feel happiness inside us – smiling – even falsely – in our brain we cause the release of happiness hormones that make our day and our whole life better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You do not believe? This is a brilliant exercise for you.\u00a0Put a pencil between your teeth, which will force a smile-like grimace<\/strong>\u00a0– research shows that you will then use exactly the same muscles that you use when smiling and it does not matter whether the smile is sincere or false and you will be happier. It’s such a great way to make your mood better. It works?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. People are great at distinguishing between a real smile and a forced one – so force a smile when you want to feel better yourself, but\u00a0every day try to become simply a more positive and smiling person<\/strong>, and exercising – even a fake smile – will help you with that, as it will help you flex these muscles. It is also worth having at hand\u00a0list of things and people that you only need to think about and truly smile<\/strong>. It will be very helpful before the meetings you care about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To smile sincerely and without complexes, I like to know that I have a well-groomed and healthy smile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because\u00a0every day I use an electric toothbrush with a round head<\/strong>\u00a0– today, at least twice a day, I use the Oral-B Genius X 2N Rose Gold toothbrush, which in addition to 20000D motion is equipped with motion sensors and is also supported by artificial intelligence, which recognizes how I brush my teeth and shows in the application whether it is correctly and accurately I brushed all surfaces of the teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"blowjob\"the<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, this brush has a SmartRing 360 ring\u00a0a modern pressure sensor that automatically slows down when I brush my teeth too much<\/strong>. What’s more, the brush works for over 2 weeks after one charge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This brush has up to\u00a06 brushing modes<\/strong>, including gum care, gentle cleaning, whitening and tongue cleaning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you like useful gadgets? This\u00a0the brush case charges the brush and the phone at the same time<\/strong>thanks to the USB port.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One brush for the whole family?<\/h3>\n

It is possible! Although, as you can see, we use toothbrushes that match our age and brush our teeth “in a group”, for a trip when we need to save space,\u00a0we only pack the tips and one brush<\/strong>\u00a0– just Genius – its feather mode corresponds to the mode of a children’s toothbrush from the age of 3.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Family is strength<\/h3>\n

In our house\u00a0nothing works as well as spending time together<\/strong>\u00a0– and I do not mean only having fun or meals together, but also bathing or brushing teeth. These are rituals that we usually perform with the whole family – when Miko\u0142aj and Maksio are bathing in the bathtub, Mom and Dad are bustling around the bathroom, preparing towels, pajamas and, of course, brushing their teeth together. Initially, we started by brushing our teeth with Mom or Dad, which was very helpful at the stage of developing a habit, today it is not necessary, although very helpful, especially when we are working on extending the time of brushing children’s teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to teach a child to brush their teeth correctly?<\/h3>\n

It was difficult for our children to understand why the cloves had to be kept for so long. Therefore – as part of a family adventure with parents –\u00a0Miko\u0142aj and I went to the dental hygienist to talk about the proper hygiene of small teeth based on the power of authorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teaching children how to brush their teeth<\/h3>\n

The first step was\u00a0learning how to wash the teeth on the dragon<\/strong>\u00a0– but he has a lot of teeth! Miko\u0142aj saw himself how long it took to massage each tooth on each side with a brush for a moment – he was shocked! In the first stage, Miko\u0142aj learned to wash his teeth under the guidance of a dental hygienist – Mrs. R\u00f3\u017ca was irreplaceable!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"teaching\"tooth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second step was\u00a0washing dragon teeth by yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"instructions<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To finally move on to learning how to clean your own teeth.\u00a0But what to wash, like teeth so white?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"brushing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plaque – bacterial – biofilm – is invisible to the eye, but can be tinted great<\/strong>\u00a0and distinguish between early and late biofilm – the particularly dangerous one. Miko\u0142aj agreed to perform a test, in which a sponge with a purple substance was applied to his teeth, after which the biofilm turned the color to the appropriate color –\u00a0red<\/strong>\u00a0meaning fresh biofilm, a\u00a0blue<\/strong>\u00a0evidence of late biofilm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After staining the teeth, the hygienist started to thoroughly clean them – and Miko\u0142aj played a role of a biofilm detective and watched the teeth being washed in the mirror, and after a while he himself showed the hygienist where he had to clean the teeth during the procedure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"first<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next step was\u00a0teaching teeth cleaning teeth by Miko\u0142aj<\/strong>\u00a0– of course, still in the mirror, under the supervision of a hygienist, until he cleaned all the teeth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"first<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, it couldn’t go without a dental chair!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"teaching<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it’s ready!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"electric\"electric<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After such a colorful experiment, I am guaranteed to take care of the time of washing my teeth for at least some time – and what’s more, Miko\u0142aj, as an authority for his younger brother, dealt with this problem for all of them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At least until the next visit to the dentist’s office.\u00a0Miko\u0142aj is already behind him and is waiting for the next one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And how do you look at daily tooth hygiene? Habit or fight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope that after you follow the 5 steps to develop habits\u00a0no healthy changes will be terrible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
