Tips for 4 Year Olds

🌟

Encourage Independence

Let them start brushing on their own, then help finish the job. This builds confidence while ensuring thorough cleaning.

Use the Two-Step Method

First, let them brush for 1 minute, then parents help for the second minute. Our timer shows both phases clearly.

🎯

Focus on Technique

4 year olds can learn proper brushing motions. Teach them gentle circles and back-and-forth movements.

🕐

Make it Routine

Consistent timing helps. Use our timer at the same times daily to build strong habits.

🎉

Celebrate Progress

Acknowledge good brushing sessions. 4 year olds thrive on positive reinforcement and achievement.

💭

Address Concerns Gently

If they resist, explain why brushing is important in simple terms they can understand.
