Possibly they don't like the taste of the toothpaste. Change it. Select
one with pleasant taste that contains fluoride but no sugar.
Perhaps the toothbrush is too big or too hard and annoys children while
brushing. Select a toothbrush with small head, soft bristles and anatomic
grip.
Check if they have injured their gums. Wait for the injury to heal and
repeat brushing.
Don't scare or threaten them for visiting the dentist.

Explain to them

Give the good example. Brush your teeth with your children for some days.
Leave a reminder note to the bathroom mirror or on the pillow so that the
children are reminded of the morning and before sleep brushing.
Visit the pediatric dentist. He will help your child to understand the
importance of brushing.
