Whenever you get your picture taken during "selfies" or "groufies" and you smile, do you open your mouth and show your teeth? When you see the picture above, (our photo) you see a happy mom and son looking back at you. We are a happy person. We love to smile and I am proud to say that we have healthy teeth. 
Here's the 5 Tips on HOW to make brushing more fun with your kids1. Use visual guides. My son is a visual learner, I use this graphic to break down a task. 
2. Storytelling. One of our bonding moments is storytelling. My son loves this book because it tells about the importance of oral hygiene. 
3. Sing-along and brush with your kids. "If you want a nice big smile, then you must brush." This educational video has catchy lyrics and rhymes that makes brushing more fun.
4. Repetition. Good oral hygiene should start at an early age. As a parent, we have a role on teaching life skills like brushing their teeth. So how do you teach your child basic life skills task? Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.
5. Choose a small, child-sized, soft bristled toothbrush and kid-flavored toothpaste. Brushing becomes a pleasant experience for my son when he tried using Colgate's Minions toothbrush and toothpaste. He likes the strawberry flavor and cute Minions design. 
You can get Colgate's Minion Toothbrush and Toothpaste via Lazada: - Colgate Minions Kids 2-5 Years Old (Junior) Oral Care Pack
- Colgate Minions Kids 5-9 Years Old (Youth) Oral Care Pack
When we teach a child a new skill at an early age, he would continue this behavior through the years. Teaching proper brushing is important for developing good oral hygiene habit.
