In order to let two or three-year-old babies brush their teeth, we always try our best. Whether it is changing various toothbrushes: animal type, U-shaped type, electric version, etc., or changing different water cups and toothpastes, it seems that there is still little effect on babies who donât like brushing their teeth.
Babies at this stage feel more discomfort caused by toothbrushes in their mouths, and are even less aware of the dangers of tooth decay , so brushing their teeth has become a difficult problem for them.
Letting your baby realize the importance of brushing teeth is the key point. If you can't change your behavior immediately, you can only influence it in a subtle way.
"The Crocodile is Afraid, the Dentist is Afraid" mainly depicts the journey of a crocodile with tooth decay who is afraid of going to the dentist,
but has to go,
After a series of tooth fillings operations by the dentist,
The crocodile's teeth were finally repaired.
After saying goodbye to the dentist, in order not to visit the dentist's office again,
the crocodile understood: Don't forget to brush your teeth.
picture book is based on the fact that children have the characteristic of [egocentricity]: that is, children at this stage think that everyone sees the world as she sees it, and cannot consider issues from the other person's point of view.
Starting from the first-person perspective of the crocodile, you will find that the dentist's mental activities and speech content are exactly the same as those of the crocodile. Although they are afraid of different things, this is a typical characteristic of children's view of the outside world. It is repetitive. Language adds interest and is also conducive to the language learning of young children.
The author of this picture book, Gomi Taro , is good at using large areas of color blocks to express concise outlines. The colors are simple and clear, without any detailed outline, but highlight the theme that the author wants to express - pure artistic expression, containing Rich connotation.
picture book expansion:
draw a picture of teeth, seal it and apply paint on the corresponding teeth, and then let the baby use a brush dipped in water to clean the paint, so that the baby can intuitively realize the importance of brushing teeth.
