[blindkid] toothpaste

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello:

     I usually put the toothpaste on a finger and then my finger into my mouth. If you are putting toothpaste on the brush, I would suggest having a finger in contact with the head so you can tell what is going on.

Regards,

Robert

On toothpaste, my sighted, five year old girl also leaves a toothpaste
mess on the sink. Some of these things take time.
Our blind daughter tells me she sticks the tube directly into the
bristles and squeezes. Works for her. She was squirting into her mouth
until her little sisters started copying that action.
