Jo Frost Instagram – “Allegedly today Health Minister Stephen Kinnock has launched an initiative in schools across Great Britain starting April for children to be part of a ‘Toothbrushing Scheme’.
What else will schools do for parents? First potty training now teeth brushing, how many other life skill schemes will teachers have to take on, distracting them from their real role when in fact it is actually a parents responsibility to uphold, because not doing as such is child neglect. It is your child’s basic fundamental rite to be cared for and their basic needs met.
Not doing so is CHILD NEGLECT.
Where are the healthy boundaries in place,the education clearly needed that teaches families the consequences of such neglect, the line between their role as primary carers and a schools. Perhaps nationwide commercial warnings of tooth decay would be better served and not brushed off as national commercials as this is where parents will probably see this awareness best, on their screens!
1- 5 children with decayed teeth and children in outpatients at hospitals due to decayed teeth..is deplorable. Healthy oral hygiene is critical to a child’s overall health.
Parent’s it is YOUR responsibility to uphold and teach your young children basic hygiene, you spend more time on your phones yet here we are.
We are in a parenting crisis when we can not carve 4 mins out of our day twice a day to teach or clean our children’s teeth. Perhaps health minister instead of all these schemes, you actually take into consideration that most food that is cheaper for our families struggling in this economy, in the uk, is higher in sugar & sodium and perhaps you might seriously consider having 500,000 Supernannies trained across great britain that can actually serve families best by being in their homes to help educate them,support them, at this critical stage for families in the formative years from 0-7?
Something to think about and I’m very open to discussing how we make this happen, helping families help their young.
BRUSH YOUR CHILDREN’S TEETH PLEASE I speak on behalf of every child…
Parents be the loving nurturing role model our children so desperately need” -Jo xx | Posted on 07/Mar/2025 22:33:26
