All It Takes Is The Right Toothbrush

At 10 months, we introduced Joshua to the toothbrush. He only had 2 teeth at the time, however, he learned that the toothbrush is used to brush his teeth. We would say, "Joshua, brush your teeth", and he would take the toothbrush and put it in his mouth.

Fast forward 9 months and about 12 more teeth later. Joshua hates brushing his teeth and complains each day when we try to brush his teeth. When I try to give him the toothbrush to brush his teeth, he bats it away. I even bought the "training" toothpaste. However, all he wanted to do was suck the toothpaste off the brush and still hated brushing his teeth. The other day I decided it was time to try something different. I went to the store and bought Joshua a Spiderman electric spin brush. He loves it! He laughs when we put the spin on and grabs the toothbrush from me to do it himself. All it takes is the right toothbrush!
