There are so many benefits to having a toothbrush chart in your home. Your kids can learn self-discipline, achieve goals, stay accountable, and you won’t have to worry about fights every night before bed time. I mean bedtime activities are hard enough as it is. You can make a rewards chart using an online tool, such as Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint, or simply using paper and pen.

Let them choose their own toothbrush. If they have chosen a brush they like, it will make the experience much more enjoyable for them. You can set the time to clean, but the character doesn’t brush along with your child in this app. This is a pretty simple app that kids will like, and its not too expensive either…. Establishing a good dental hygiene routine for kids is vital to do as early as possible, you want them to form good habits so that they have a winning smile for life! It will also help to ensure that their adult teeth develop properly. Having designated tasks for your child to complete is a great way to improve their skills at a young age. Tasks such as doing homework encourage self-discipline while making their bed in the morning encourages them to look after their space independently. For younger children, all kinds of household chores can improve gross and fine motor skills, too. Unusually, this app also includes a minute for kids to floss, and half a minute for rinsing; helping them do ittoo. In addition, there are coins awarded whenever the animals teeth are cleaned; this allows kids to “feed” their pets. They need to keep them healthy by feeding them good food choices :-D

Success!

If there is a specific behavior that you want to focus on, such as getting your child to stop swearing, then this could also be listed on the reward chart in a positive way, such as ‘Speak nicely to others and use kind words.’

Create the structure for your reward chart. Add the task boxes in rows, and the days of the week or times of the day in columns as a foundation for your reward chart. From there, you can begin filling in the information. Reward charts give kids something to work towards. If a child knows that if they don’t clean their room they won’t receive a reward, for example, then they can begin to improve this behavior. Having an achievable goal is a simple way to keep kids motivated and encourages positive behavior.

Looking for something different

Fighting bad breath: Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, can be caused by oral bacteria that produce foul-smelling compounds. Probiotics help control the growth of odor-causing bacteria and can thus contribute to fresher breath. My kids are pretty good at brushing their teeth at night, but they are horrible about doing it in the mornings. Having a chart to remind them and get them to do it without you having to hound them all morning, is a great reason to have a chart. Teach children the importance of brushing their teeth with stories and TV show episodes dedicated to brushing their teeth and the dentist. For younger children, Daniel Tiger and Berenstein bears have some great ones.
