kebersihan gigi juga merupakan didikan asas yang sangat PENTING dalam pendidikan anak-anak selari dengan didikan AQIDAH.

justeru, begitulah dalam kebersihan gigi anak-anak kita. Perlu kita ambil berat , jangan meringankannya sehingga anak baru berusia 2 ke 3 tahun gigi sudah rongak, sakit gigi dsbnya.

petikan daripada buku THE MUSLIM PARENT'S GUIDE TO THE EARLY YEARS

WHEN to start?

as soon as your baby grows their first tooth .(etc: my kids all of them grew their first tooth at 10-12 months)

HOW?
first, we need to show them how to do this most effectively. when they grow older and start to want more independence, then they will want to brush their own teeth.

***if your child is NOT so conscientious about cleaning their teeth then the following TIPS should help:

1. EXPLAIN the importance of brushing their teeth
2. allow them to PICK up their own toothbrush and toothpaste
3. MOTIVATE them (masyaAllah , safiyyah you have your own pink toothbrush!)
4. always PRAISE your child when they brush their teeth
5. if you have more than one child, they can brush their teeth together as children like to IMITATE others
6. be a ROLE MODEL and brush your teeth in front of them as well

**it is recommended practice to use siwaak (miswak) as this was practice of the Prophet saw.

in sha Allah semoga Allah memudahkan urusan kita dalam mendidik anak...nak cari kayu sugi ni, ingat parents are ROLE MODEL.
