Brushing teeth

Brushing your infant/toddler teeth is a challenge. For the past few month it has been a struggle to get Ajani to brush his teeth . His mom has to put him to lay in her lap and constantly negotiate  the process. This morning I said to him " Ajani let's brush our teeth" he headed to the bath room I gave him his tooth brush he said "tooth paste". I said to him do you want some tooth paste? he said yes. I helped him to extend his language skills.
Back to tooth brushing . Remember that all these experiences are new for your infant/toddler so at first it will be a struggle . You need to be patient and give your infant/toddler time to adjust to the new experience.  You are always teaching and guiding getting your baby ready for school and life.
You are also developing the brain. It is very important for you to understand that brain development is taking place all the time.
Wernicke's area –

area located in the temporal lobe that plays a critical role in the ability to understand meaningful speech.
Broca's area –structure located in the frontal lobe of the brain that controls the production of spoken and written language
