Do not floss, not at all! There is no benefit in flossing deciduous teeth, in fact there is more possibility of harm than any benefit.
A good electric brush is better, e.g Oral B, Sonicaire etc. especially for kids who don't have the manual dexterity to use a manual brush very effectively.
You need to keep in mind though that no amount of tooth brushing can compensate for a bad diet.
Thank you so much for the response.
I didn't fill his cavities yet. His dental office told me that I need to do it ASAP.

Got a question. You mentioned don't floss. Is that for kids or even for adults? If not flossing, what's recommended?
 
Just for kids. I'd start them flossing when they get to be adults, about 18 or so.
