What Can I Do To Help My Son With Property Brushing His Teeth? He's Been Practicing Sense He Started Getting Teeth, He's Now 3 1/2
Brushing teeth
That's really cool! I'll have to look into that, thanks 😊
Hello Holly! My son is 18 and he is still learning how to brush his. What is currently helping him is to divide the process into steps. My husband and I count from 1 to 3 while my son is brushing one side so he can move to the next. Cleaning his front teeth has been the hardest, he does better with his lower molars. My son has helped me realize how much we take for granted, things become so routinary and we don’t appreciate their full value. I’ve been advised a couple of times to try an electric toothbrush, we haven’t done it as of yet. Maybe one day we might give it a try. I hope this helps.
May you and your family have a blessed night!
My son is 17 & I still have to remind him to brush his teeth. With Autism sometimes they simply don't even think about it like we do. I asked my son why he's not brushing his teeth regularly & he said that he forgets to do it or it doesn't even cross his mind to. Autistic people don't think the way we do so they're not always going to do things. I have to tell my son it's time to brush his teeth. He needs to be prompted or reminded to do it because he won't even think about it at all. The best advice I can give you to do is schedule to brush teeth at the same time every day morning, noon & night or morning & night. I would recommend you brush your teeth when he brushes his. It not only encourages him to do it, but he can watch & learn from you how to brush properly. I have learned that my son (Autistic) prefers to work with me in a team dynamic. He doesn't like to do tasks alone. I hope this helps you. Make it a team task.
Try showing him a video with a character from like seaseme street because some of our children are visual learners.
