Yikes my 3 year old refuses to brush anymore. Its been a while I am trying to ignore it. let it not be something that is a negative first thing in the morning. But she shows no interest. Not even when I make if fun. The most she will do is suck off the toothpaste.
I don't want her to develop bad habits or cavities.
Any advice?

How about buying her an electric kid themed toothbrush? Or giving her a star/sticker every time she brushes and that when she gets a certain number of them she gets to pick a prize at the local dollar store? Or you could get her a book about what happens to teeth when we don't brush, with pictures of little people germs or s/thing like that....Or you could let her watch while you brush and she may become more interested simply because she sees you doing it.......Good Luck.
