But seriously, FooserX, I am sorry, I should never said what I said. You just pi$$ed me off a bit for a moment...

Really?

I'm so sorry about that. It was not my intention.

*turns around and secretly gives the thumbs up to Lissa* Yeah!

We never pushed him, but every morning I’d brush my teeth in his presence and would offer him and his younger sister toothbrushes as well. He used to chew on it a bit, but would never let us brush his teeth. I thought that was ok, at least he was getting this habit to do it every morning and that he’ll get better at brushing as he grows older. But for the past few days he refused his toothbrush at all. He has a toothbrush for kids and also a booth brush that looks exactly like mine (in case he want the ‘real deal’). I don’t know what else to do…

His sister is still pretty enthusiastic as far as chewing on the toothbrush.
We went through this with DD. A sticker incentive chart worked well with her. Part of the deal was that she had to let Mom or Dad brush her teeth first and then she had to brush herself to earn a sticker for her chart. So many stickers earned a special treat or small toy. At first we started with 3 stickers for the reward and then we gradually worked it up to a week. Eventually we didn't need to use the chart at all. Good luck!

I don't know show him teeth of people who haven't brush. Also that chart isn't a bad idea. And brush with him. You could make it fun for him by buying him that toothbrush that plays music while you brush.
