Brushing teeth is always fun with my kids. Indirectly I teach them Tamil alphabets and pronunciation during brushing. We will start with a (pronounced as “ah”) e … eeee, and so on.

Initially I used to brush for them and now they are doing it on their own. So my kids enjoy brushing time. Of course, I brush with them. Getting them different fuity flavours of toothpaste also helps. They actually enjoy the cool fruity flavour inside their mouth.
