My DS over the past couple of weeks has decided to get into an uncontrollable rage if I try and do anything for him. Mainly brushing his teeth - he will not let me hold the toothbrush, he wants to do it himself - and by this I mean chewing on it and brushing his gums not his actual teeth - he won't even let me hold his hand and guide him! Is this a phase or will his teeth never be clean again?! This has stemmed to other things such as holding spoons, cups etc but those I can cope with, a bit (well a lot) of mess doesn't bother me - but his dental health does!! When I say cups I mean proper 'adult' cups not with a spout - he like to snatch them if I'm drinking juice and have a go himself lol!
