For all you mamas experiencing the frustrating resistance of brushing your dc's teeth.....it just occurred to me the other night what often works with dd....
Dh massages her feet while I brush her teeth. She gets completely relaxed and destracted by the massage and I can go at it! Granted, we have been massaging her since she was an infant, so she doesn't experience the tickling sensation like those who aren't used to being massaged. But I recommend trying it when all else seems to be failing....This is also how dh gets her to sleep when I am not around too. HTH!
