Answer 9

Have the youngster hold his finger under your nose while you blow air out.(make sure nose it clean for this) He will be able to feel it.Then have him put his finger under his nose and blow out until he can feel it.Then replace the finger with tissue.

Make sure to have tissue available.Will have to keep reminding him to blow his nose.

Takes some practice at first.Mine learned how to blow their noses before a year old.

Duct tape his mouth and then tell him to blow hard with his hands holding the tissue to his nose!!! easy as that

Answer 18

tell ur 4yr old to blow her cheeks out and hold the air in her mouth. then tell her to do this with her nose when it's full...the force she feels with the air in her cheecks will teach her to do this with her nose...give it a try...you'll probably have to work on it a few times.
