Five Go Parenting: Enid Blyton for Grown Ups

Product Information

Remember to put the toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush yourself until they can do it properly themselves and as with all bathroom products, keep toothpaste tubes out of the reach of little hands. For children between 3 and 6, just use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Firstly, ensure that your little one’s toothpaste contains the right amount of fluoride for their age. Lashings of ginger beer not enough to entertain them? Children driving you mad? A simply marvellous collection of jolly ideas to keep the little blighters occupied.

• Try to time your morning routine so that your child brushes their teeth at the same time as other members of the household.

• Take your child shopping with you when you buy new toothbrushes and have them choose two, so you can give them a choice at brushing time.
