Tips for low functioning littles and tooth brushing
╔═ . ☾ . ══════════════════
hello my darling stars! i think it's teeth time, don't you?
i know it can sound scary, sometimes we're tired and sometimes we don't want too, but we can do this together ok? i have a few quick tips that might help ya!
🫧﹒fun brushes or kids brushes, they look fun, come in lots of different patterns and the brushes are softer and smaller if that's a sensory ick!
🌸﹒set a time to do it, if you have a "now" for something you've been putting off, it's easier to get yourself into motion!
🫧﹒if setting a time doesn't help, do it whenever you can. brushing in the afternoon is better than never brushing at all!
🌸﹒if you want too, sit on the floor while you do it, it can feel a lot less big and a lot less scary down there
🫧﹒stack tasks! sometimes once you do one tricky thing you can get another done easier. try brushing after a shower!
🌸﹒if the taste makes it icky, look for a no-taste toothpaste! if the texture is a problem you can get clear gel ones too.
🫧﹒take a stuffie friend with you! they can't brush their teeth, but they'd love to cheer you on!
🌸﹒bring a video or show with you, as always sometimes the voices of other people can make you feel less lonely.
🫧﹒remember, little circles around every tooth, don't forget to brush your tongue!
🌸﹒play a song you like that's 2 minutes or more! if you need a little comfort try "rises the moon"- it's exactly 2 minutes and 41 seconds long, so by the time it's done you can stop brushing!
🫧﹒plan something fun for after like a self reward, like getting comfy clothes on, getting in bed or some before bed colouring/playtime
🌸﹒if twice a day sounds like too much, work your way up to it with just once a day, two minutes, then you're done.
🫧﹒And above all else, be proud of yourself, you've done amazingly as is and if you can't be proud for you, I'm proud of you.
You got this little star, take care of yourself!
