When brushing seems like a chore use our chore tokens
Last month I shared with you about my crazy travel plans and how I know that my family’s oral health was totally taken care of because we were all going to use our LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE mouth wash while on vacation. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans…
Get Out of a Chore Free Chore Tokens
My plan to make sure everyone brushed and rinsed at least (and flossed if I was lucky) started off okay but as our trip went on, we were staying up later and later, and getting more exhausted and the whining started. “I am too tired to brush my teeth!” I just want to go straight to bed!” “I’ll brush extra good in the morning!” I would be lying if I did not admit it was tempting to just give in but that is when I pulled out my secret weapon. Just when brushing and rinsing seemed like a hugely daunting chore I pulled out the “Get Out of a Chore Free Tokens” I had made just for this moment.
You see sometimes brushing, flossing, and rinsing can seem like a chore to my boys so I figured if they could earn the privilege to skip a chore at home they would be more likely to take care of their teeth while we travel. It worked! It actually worked! Do you evere feel like screaming that from a roof top when you have a parentin gidea and it actually works! My kids brushed and rinsed with the LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE every night. Now guess who is stuck feeding the dog and setting the table. Oh well, it was totally worth it to avoid the nightly battle on our vacation. If you want to give this trick a try on your next vacation, I am sharing this free printable of my chore tokens. All I did was print them out, cut them out, and then laminated them to make them reusable for all our trips. You can easily laminate them with self-adhesive laminating sheets.
Don’t forget: you can pick up all the wellness products you need to make sure you family is totally taken care of this summer at Walgreens. I suggest LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE because it:
- Helps prevent cavities
- Restores enamel
- Strengthens teeth
- Kills bad breath germs
- Cleans the whole mouth
- Freshens breath
What are you tips for making sure your family is totally taken care of this summer?
