Your child should see a dentist at around age 3. He or she should regularly be using a toothbrush and toothpaste. Use only a pea- sized portion of fluoride toothpaste, since some will be swallowed. Training Successful toilet training often occurs between ages 2 and 3. Signals that your child is ready include staying dry during naps, being unhappy with a dirty diaper, and showing an interest in the toilet.
Children often wet the bed at night even when daytime toilet training is going well.
Disipline Keep rules few and simple. Temper tantrums can be expected. You may try to ignore your child's tantrums or distract him or her with another activity. Use sentences with 4 or 5 words Safety Always use a child car seat or restraint, and never leave your child alone in the car. Most car seats can hold children up to 40 pounds in weight.
