Step 1
If you teach them young and right they will brush there teeth. There is a right way for toddlers to brush their teeth. I would suggest watching them do it and do it three times a day if you can.
-
Step 2
Place the child's tooth brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums. Move the brush back and forth gently in short strokes. I would brush my child's teeth until they are 6/7. Brush the outer surfaces and insides.

Step 3
Brush are chewing surfaces. To clean the inside surface of the front teeth I would tilt the brush vertically and make several up and down strokes. It may be hard on young children. YES brush the tongue to remove bacteria.
Replace a tooth brush every month. Some people wash them in the dishwasher to kill germs. Replace if a child has been really sick. Size does matter so buy small bristles for children.
