[QUOTE=Crystal;54813]I let them brush their teeth as soon as they see other children doing it and are interested in brushing. QUOTE]
Ditto here. My youngest brusher is 16 months. He's the one that had a hard time with mom until we got him own toothbrush here at DC. He watched the DC kids brush while I got the mats out in preperation for nap/quiet time and and started brushing his own teeth
. Now he loves it. I guess I like it though because when it comes to brushing all of my families do it at home in the AM and before bed (I ask the kids just to make sure, they tell me everything ) so now they do it after lunch here too.
I don't actually do anything since there's no toothpaste so it takes none of my time or time away from other activities. It keeps them occupied while I set up for rest time. The kiddos all sit and brush together while I get the mats ready.
