teaching your child how to blow their nose
At what age can they do this and how do you go about teaching them

Re: teaching your child how to blow their nose
Colin has been doing it for I guess 3 months now - since 11 months or so I would guess. He is addicted to tissues now so it's annoying. I think we just would show him how to do it and he'd mimic us.

Re: teaching your child how to blow their nose
Try putting little pieces of rolled up tissue in their nostril and have them practice blowing them out... may get messy..lol.. but it works.. I saw a behavioral therapist use this method when teaching an autistic boy how to blow his nose...

This would worry me though- what if they suck in instead of blowing out? I'd be worried it would get stuck up there.

that would worry me too, I can see DS sucking it up, but come to think of it, he'd probably end up swallowing it that way, so maybe no harm?

Re: teaching your child how to blow their nose
i took the "rolled up tissue" comment to mean this:
take 1 tissue, twirl it so it makes a skinny point, and then stick it up the nose...like a tissue tampon lol
sorry if that sounded gross

Re: teaching your child how to blow their nose
When DS was around 7 or 8 months, he started doing an in and out blowing of his nose. A cute thing he did when he did not like a food or was done eating. I took advantage and started then, saying "blow your nose" and do it myself and he'd repeat it.
He still, at 18 months does not have a full grasp of blowing his nose as productive as he could but he's got the motion and looooves tissues.

Ive done this with my students and it works! You, can also put a tissue on the table and have them blow at it with their nose to make it move
