Parenting tip #345

Remember that you are in control, and your child should not be given the option to get away with refusing something that is a.) painless and b.) for their own good, such as dental care. Do not ASK your child if they want to do it. They WILL say no. You TELL them they will do it and that it can be either hard or easy. And don't try to blame their refusal on the mask. The mask is not the problem. YOU are.
