My son does the same. I'm reconsidering repainting the whole house, but fear is catching me, as I am sure he will keep repeating it.

I never even beat him when he does it, I just scold him and we collect the pencil or crayon he is using.

Repaint the wall....

Unknown said...

My little cousin use to do this, wtf?? and they cannot erase it, see beating! just shiverer beaatng sha

Unknown said...

I ll make her understand d damage she has done to d wall by giving her a piece of cloth to clean it off, I know it won't work so I ll add water to it she ll try again n it won't work, I ll add detergent to it n again it won't work but rather make more mess off the wall. Then I ll ask her how she feels doing something she can't reverse. By now she should feel very guilty. I can repaint the wall later but I ll b sure she got the message n regrets her action. I wont hit her for any reason cos I did worse when I was her age.

Oh this is a must. The first time i came out of the kitchen to see my little girl had done this (with same red crayon), I was so MAD....I went and bought her a white and black board. She wrote on it for a few days then went back to the wall. She loved the wall best. My only solution was to give her a particular wall for scribbling, then I bought a can of paint and a paint brush. Once every month i paint over her 'creations' and she happily starts new art works. I had to find that middle ground.

My 2yr old did this, next day I went out & bought her a board. She Still scribbles on the walls with her crayon.

SUE JORDAN said...

I just had to laugh again as I remember...

Buy a Smart Wall Paint for her. With smart wall paint, you don't have problem with this, simply clean it up when you discover it and your wall will shine and clean. You can contact me on manshoti@gmail.com if you need one.

It's normal for kids to do this. You only caution them not to do it on the wall but on their boards/books. My son did it recently, I was mad at him but I recall I did the same as a kid.

DEBOLA said...

U do nothing but paint over. My kids have done this countless times. D key is to keep. Repeating "DONT WRITE ON THE WALL" till it sinks into their brain. Lol!

Unknown said...

Buy her a Smart Wall Paint. With this, all you need is just clean it whenever she write on the wall to leave the wall clean and shining. Contact manshoti@gmail.com if you need one. Shalom

Just six lashes, so she'll know its wrong. Then i'll re-paint my wall. Shikena!!!

Linda, my son (who will be 2 at the end of this month) did this a few months ago. He not only wrote on the wall, but on the furniture, computer and everything else he could reach completely ignoring his white board. Loved him d more for it!

Sanjo said...

my son currently does this, he has written on almost all walls in the house, got mad at first, but now i just allow him. Bought a board, but once in a while he still does. So i have refused to paint the walls of the house for now, until he is done with his own paintings.

Unknown said...

My daughter have don that in my own house two days after i painted the wall she use pencil and design the wall, when i saw it I corrected her,

Mrs TC said...

Buy him a standing board and instruct him to always use it anytime he/she wants to right. If he tries it afterwards, I go flog am ni.

She should have been corrected much younger. Give her drawing book to continue

kay(Jos) said...

I will buy a learning board(chalk/pen board)for the child and caution him/her not to write on the wall again.

Anonymous said...

depends on the childs age, he would get scrubbing o.My almost 2 year old knows we only write on paper!! another surface attracts a consequence

Anonymous said...

U need to come to uk and see some of the homes here especially the ones with growing up kids . U will be amazed

Anonymous said...

Lol; my wall is exactly like that, told my son not to and after 3 times he has stopped but will have to repaint.

Unknown said...

U are all saying these harsh words because u don't have kids of ur own yet. Yes, u'll be mad but won't do anything irrational. Kids will always be kids and we did worse in our own time. U just need to explain why he or she shouldn't do it again.. Then get writing materials for him /her.

Anonymous said...

You have just lied!!!!! I bet you don't have kids yet..it has nothing to do with upbringing. It's just a child being a child.

Anonymous said...

my niece used to do dat alot, but buying her a chalk board made it stop....

Unknown said...

Will give her warning not to do that again, then get her a board
