We demonstrated this by blowing air through our noses, and she copied. This was when she was too young to blow enough air to actually blow her nose, but the response of blowing air through her nose became an established behavior when we asked her what rhinoscerous' did. Eventually, she was able to blow air forcefully enough through her nose. When she needs to blow, we hold a tissue to her nose and tell her to blow like a rhinoscerous. It works great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793572361513833353.post-43709568227641531692008-03-06T16:18:00.000-05:002008-03-06T16:18:00.000-05:00I have no idea if this will help you or not.

My kids have recently started swimming lesson and one of the things they do to get the kids faces in the water is have them blow bubbles with their noses. You might try this in a basin of water just for fun and see how many bubbles they can make. They would have fun and get the hang of it in a fun way. <BR/>Of course they could also just end up snorting water UP their noses and end up couphing, sputtering and all of that!Becca~CapturingSimpleJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269232073211009288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793572361513833353.post-48250302875308891442008-03-05T15:55:00.000-05:002008-03-05T15:55:00.000-05:00my daughter won't blow her nose either so i'm no h...my daughter won't blow her nose either so i'm no help.<BR/><BR/>thanks for entering my contest this week.Melissa Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839619836478423452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793572361513833353.post-25054289116616454502008-03-05T13:31:00.000-05:002008-03-05T13:31:00.000-05:00We taught our kids to blow their noses by telling ...We taught our kids to blow their noses by telling them to pretend they are blowing out candles. I even lit candles to help them understand the whole blowing out thing. <BR/><BR/>Now, when we are stuffy, I help with the blowing. Well, I hold the kleenex! I pinch one nostril shut and tell them to blow over and over again til it sounds clear, then do the same to the other side. <BR/><BR/>We also use saline to rinse occasionally, but the little ones don't like it. My 8 and 9 year old boys love it - they like to see who can get the biggest booger out. That grosses me out. My husband loves it... he's a nose dr!Patterned Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03881913234738035809noreply@blogger.com
