For the Child Who Wants to Know Why You Get to Brush

Four lines you can say out loud tonight. Word for word. Free to save.

For the Child Who Wants to Know Why You Get to Brush — 4 scripts

What to say

  1. Brushing is tonight, same as every night. You can ask me anything while we do it.

  2. You want to know why I get to hold the brush and you do not. That is a fair question.

  3. Yes. Watch me. Then you copy exactly what I do, on your own teeth.

  4. You go first next time. I will copy you.

When to use it

This is for the moment it actually goes wrong — not the calm version you rehearse in the car. Pick one line. Say it once. Then stop talking and wait three seconds. If they push back, repeat the same line, not a new one. Say the same thing for five nights before you decide it doesn't work.
