We showed our kid a 5-8 minute cartoon in the morning and in the evening at under 2. It was the only way to brush her teeth. Was I proud of it? No. Was it educational? No. Is it the best way to brush teeth? No. Did she have the shiniest teeth on the block? Absolutely yes.
I prefer the little harm of letting her watch The Little Mole on Youtube twice a day at 18 months old over having cavities or using force to brush her teeth. For months and months we tried every other method there is and eventually gave up and tried the TV.
