About this visual support

When the day is over the body just wants to wind down, yet the teeth still need their round before the pillow. That is exactly when the mouth is at its most easily irritated, and a scratchy brush can be the last straw that sets off tears. With the pictures in front of them, your child sees that only a few steps remain and that bed is waiting right after.

Visual support makes the end of the day predictable: brush, paste, a lap around the teeth, spit, rinse and then straight to bed. A concrete tip is to always place the final picture on something cosy, like a bedtime story or a hug, so brushing leads toward something your child looks forward to instead of being the last obstacle. That forward pull makes the rough seconds easier to sit through.

The pictures below can go up in the bathroom as a fixed evening order. To link brushing with the whole bedtime routine, you can try Routined free for fourteen days.
