Singing along with your kids for a fun brushing time

Good dental hygiene can be a lifetime habit. It is something we learn early on and nurture through the years until it becomes a vital part of our daily routine.

As soon as your kids’ milk teeth come out, they must get into the habit of brushing regularly. This is easier said than done. Children consider brushing a tedious chore that they’d rather skip. It is every parent’s responsibility, then, to make it a fun experience while teaching them the importance of excellent oral care.

Teaching them to brush their teeth as early as possible is important in achieving that healthy smile that you want for them. But keep in mind that mere brushing is not enough. According to the American Dentists’ Association, two full minutes of brushing strokes at least twice daily are needed to make toothbrushing effective.

While two minutes of brushing seem quick and easy for adults, children find this tiresome and boring. Here’s an idea to spruce up toothbrushing time for your children, while ensuring that they are indeed brushing for two full minutes—think of or come up with a song that they can sing along to while they brush their teeth! Maybe a favourite nursery rhyme? A billboard-topping song? The choices are endless! Have a sing-a-long session with your children while they brush their teeth using upward and downward strokes, as well as left and right.

REEL DEAL: 11 Year-old Isaac Andrews Stars Alongside Christian Bale In Ridley Scott's “EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS”

As more filmmakers, producers and actors collaborate to revitalize stories from the bestselling book of all time all over the world translated into all languages - critics and movie audience find themselves in a great divide on each and every (filmed) interpretation of a story lifted from the Bible. 

Despite questions circling Ridley Scott’s upcoming “Exodus: Gods and Kings,”  Rotten Tomatoes’ Audience Score of the film reveals a high 97% rating in terms of anticipation from  those very eager to watch the film.  Likewise, early reviews reflect some of the critics’ positive take such that from Variety’s Justin Chang who says that “What’s remarkable about Scott’s genuinely imposing Old Testament psychodrama is the degree to which he succeeds in conjuring a mighty and momentous spectacle — one that, for sheer astonishment, rivals any of the lavish visions of ancient times the director has given us — while turning his own skepticism into a potent source of moral and dramatic conflict.”

Additionally, Jamie Graham whose review of the film at www.gamesradar.com positively stated that, “Scott operates on a suitably Biblical scale and grounds the spectacle with rock-solid turns from Bale and Edgerton.”
