Make it into a family affair! Brush your teeth with your toddler. Kids tend to emulate their parents after a while and if you and your husband (and if she has an older sibling) all brush teeth together, she is sure to join in. Agree with the other parents, letting your child pick out his or her toothbrush at the store will give him or her a sense of ownership and responsibility. Also, if it's the taste of the toothpaste that's bothering your child, perhaps asking him or her what the best flavour is will help too :) Goodluck!
