I'm sure you've seen the videos on tik tok where "digital marketers", I use that term loosely, are saying that they want to tell you how they made $5,000 while they were sleeping.

Ok I don't know about you - but my was NOT motivated to brush.
Truthfully, sometimes I'm not either. Nothing worked for him.
There were many fights trying to get him to clean his teeth. I bought the Philips Sonicare for Kids and it has CHANGED EVERYTHING!! It comes with a cute lil guy that gives you rewards every time you brush.
My son is now motivated to brush his teeth, and doesn't want to miss one.
