How to use it
Pick the goal that fits where your child is right now, even if that’s just letting you help.
Choose how many stars to fill. Fewer stars mean a sooner celebration.
Hang it by the bathroom sink, at your child’s eye level.
Fill in a star right after brushing, while your child is still proud of it.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
What should a full chart earn?
Something small you’d enjoy doing together works well, like an extra story or a trip to the park. A new toothbrush they pick out themselves is a nice one too.
What if my child refuses some days?
Skip that star and try again at the next brush. The chart only counts the wins. If brushing feels like a daily battle, your dentist or pediatrician can help.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
Read it with a story
