So, Logan is difficult when it comes to brushing teeth - most kids are, I think. Any suggestions from the gallery?
One I found online that might work with him is this:
"Our 19-month old daughter has always been very independant and fights us for the toothbrush (and will either do it herself - barely - or not do it at all). What I have started doing the last few weeks is "tickle" her teeth. We lay her down after the PJs are on, crack her up, and I go in saying, "I'm going to tickle your teeth!" This totally cracks her up and I can brush really well with short burts as I say, "Tickle, tickle, tickle!!" Then we let her have the toothbrush AFTER we're done so she can do it herself. "

It is a battle. We tell the kids, if you let us do it first then you can do it after. They'd just get mad, because they'd want to brush their own teeth. The older ones are okay now, but we still do Bai's. She likes to have her cheeks and tongue tickled as we're brushing :)
Sorry, I've got no suggestions. But if you have one for keeping the kids from pushing that darn power button on the TV I'd LOVE to hear it!
