What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book contains no sensitive topics. It is a secular, straightforward instructional guide focused on a daily hygiene task.
Ideal Reader
A 3- to 5-year-old who is either learning to brush their teeth for the first time or is resisting the routine. It is particularly effective for literal, concrete thinkers who respond well to photographic guides over narrative stories. It's also an excellent choice for a child in a bilingual English/Spanish environment.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; the book can be read cold. For best results, a parent could have a toothbrush and toothpaste ready so the child can follow along with the steps in the book in real time. The parent has just endured another nightly battle over brushing teeth. Their child rushes, cries, refuses, or simply doesn't understand how to do it properly. The parent is looking for a simple, visual tool to externalize the instruction and empower their child to take ownership of the task.
