Feedback:
Toddlers need a toothbrush they recognize as their own. Toward the end of the toddler period, they can begin to do the brushing themselves under supervision; although, almost all children need some supervision until about age 8 years. It is not unusual for a toddler to have opinions and want to do things themselves. The mother needs to permit the child to perform autonomous acts with supervision. The child is too young to be permitted in the bathtub alone. This is a safety hazard.
