5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth

This is probably one of the most asked questions by parents. It does not matter if they are first timers or not, this is the part where the phrase “every child is different” holds true. So really, How to Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth? Here are 5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth based on our experience.

Brushing should be a routine. Build up the routine of routine of brushing as early as possible and never ever slip away from the routine/schedule. When the routine is established, they will bring that as they grow older.

Use age appropriate brushing products. Ever wonder why some kids does not like brushing? The toothpaste you are using may be the culprit. Ask your pedia or dentist which toothpaste is best tasting for your kids. It also helps if the toothbrush they are using are designed with their favorite superhero or cartoon character, or as simple as in their favorite color.

Let them shop for their oral hygiene products. As mentioned above, it helps if the oral hygiene products they are using are in their fave color or fave character. To make things easier, let them shop for their own products, it makes them feel that they have a say on it and will not feel that it is something that is forced.

Count instead of singing or vice versa. Take a cue from your child. Do they love singing? Then it is ok to use a sing. If they love Math, use numbers instead. According to our dentist, it should be 10 seconds for each side:

right top front
right top back
right bottom front
right bottom back
center top front
center top back
center bottom front
center bottom back
left top front
left top back
left bottom front
left bottom back

Don’t force brushing. Take it one day at a time, one count at a time. Don’t force it but never give up. If on day 1, they will only allow you to brush their teeth up to 3 counts, on the second time, try upping the number to 5 or 6 and so on. Before you know it, your kid loves brushing as much as you wish them to.

BONUS TIP: when do you start teaching/training them how to brush their teeth? Start the earliest possible. You can actually oral hygiene as early as 4 months or when signs of teething is already showing.

3 Tried And Tested Ways To Help Your Child Gain Weight

This has been my dilemma for years now. I have tried everything I thought I should do. We tried a few formula/ milk, we even tried a lot of different kinds of vitamins and appetizers but to no avail. It was only last year that I finally learned what is the 3 Tried And Tested Ways To Help Your Child Gain Weight

3 Tried And Tested Ways To Help Your Child Gain Weight

1. Help your child gain weight by giving them proper diet. Diet is not just for those who wants to lose weight. Diet is also for those who want to gain weight. What is the proper diet for a child who needs to gain weight? With my 3rd son, his usual meal was vegetables, meat, hard boiled egg, and 1 cup of rice. He still drinks a cup of milk every night but not the formula kind. He only drinks fresh milk.

My son’s diet includes 2 eggs a day (yolk number 2 not included), 1 glass of milk, 3 cups

What happens if you open a fresh milk and it was already spoiled? Check this video on things you need to do:

2. Help your child gain weight by ensuring he eats every 3-4 hours. Do not wait until the schedule meal time but don’t feed them earlier. The correct spacing of meal time will give his stomach enough time to consume his earlier meal and enough time to signal his body to eat another full meal.

3. Help your child gain weight by letting him sleep for 8 hours a day. It’s basic rule but it really is effective. Even if you give your kids enough food, if their body does not have enough time to rest, recuperate and regenerate cells, the diet will not be effective.

I know at first implementing a strict diet rule is hard, it takes time to get used to it. As I have mentioned in our video, we fought a lot when it comes to his diet but after a few weeks, being hungry becomes natural to him.

In less than a year, from 23 kgs, he is now 25 kg and it’s a big achievement to us.

Gummi King Echinacea Review

This is one of the greatest discovery I had this year. Hindi ko din alam kung bakit pero ang sakit lately, sobrang dami. Medyo trending talaga ang mga sakit gaya ng ubo at sipon. And as a mom, I really want to make sure that my kids are all protected and has a strong immune system to fight these virus. And I feel like taking supplements is now necessary dahil nga usong uso ang sakit.

In fact, as shared by my two teenagers, ang daming may sakit sa school nila. But my boys are well protected, thanks to Gummi King Echinacea.

I had the chance to sample a few bottles of Gummi King Echinacea a few weeks ago and my kids has been taking the gummies since then. May baon din akme during our North Luzon travel. We stayed in Baguio for 3 days and I know the cold weather in Baguio might be risky for their health. I came well prepared by bringing some heat tech clothes and 3 bottles of Gummi King (one bottle Echinacea, one bottle Vit C, and one bottle multivatimins)

Gummi King Echinacea is a gummy food supplement with Echinacea. Now, what is Echinacea? Hindi ko din alam noong una. And like you, ang tagal ko din pinag isipan why it can help boost the immune system. Kaya ba talaga? In our case, it did eh. That made me more curious what Echinacea is all about. It’s a plant na malapit na pinsan ng mga daisies. Studies shows that Echinacea extracts has effect on the immune system and helps increase the production of white blood cells that fights the infection.

Gummi King Echinacea is best given when the child has fever/ colds or basta kapag hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ng bata. For regular days, we use Gummi King Multivatims.

Since it is a gummi, we havent tried giving it to Marius who will turn 3 this February. Gummies kase sya so kailangan magaling na mag chew ang baby. You can try cutting it into small pieces for kids 2 years and up.

Gummi King gummies are vegan, no gelatin, and sugar free. .Gummi King Echinacea, Gummi King Vitamin C, and Multivitamins is exclusively available sa Watson’s stores nationwide and Watson’s online.
