if you dont have one already you can get a toothbrush with a fun color or character on it! you can also use kid's toothpaste!
if you struggle to brush your teeth you can try to sing a song in your head, put on a 2-minute timer, or put a video on! some people also just use their fingers, whatever helps you <3
if you struggle to get motivation to brush your hair, maybe when youre done you can even brush your stuffed animals hair too as some motivation!
