Let’s Brush Our Teeth By: Rick Lofton

 Every parent wants the best for their children. Many understand that learning the simplest of things requires a little help with our little ones. Making bath time and brushing your teeth fun, is the best way to instill healthy habits. Charles Ellis is an established singer from California with a large following on YouTube. His 8-month year old son had issues brushing his teeth, inspiring Ellis to create a song making the mundane task fun and interesting.

“Let’s Brush Our Teeth” is an instructional jingle geared towards toddlers and young children. The music video uses multiple kids of all ages, puppets, and animations to create the singalong. The YouTube channel is under his son’s name and all profits are going to secured trust for his college education.

Ellis explains, “I wanted to create something fun and educational while giving my son a head start in life. His YouTube channel allows us to bond and earn residual income for him over time. I understand the importance of financial freedom and how setting a positive example is even more critical.”

Only 50% of Americans brush their teeth daily. Statistics are even worse in men making it a necessity for examples to be set early. There is over 300 types of bacteria that make up plaque linking our overall health directly to a clean mouth and teeth. Heart disease, oral cancer, and the fungi to manage our weight are all impacted from oral hygiene.

Many may ask, how do I prepare for my child’s future if I’m not already a YouTube success. Ellis suggests, “However you prepare for your child’s future, make sure it is something you bond over. Whether it is a savings account or an allowance, make the educational process fun. Exposure is the key!”

The national savings rate average is currently 0.6%. Every bank has savings accounts, most of which compound daily. FDIC backed accounts are secured and the most effective way to ensure a rate of return.
