Description of discipline technique:
When your child feels it is necessary to draw on walls, get a soapy plastic bowl and a scourer, tell them that it's good to express themself but not on Mummy's walls. there are other ways, which you will show them after the wall is clean. Make them scrub the wall until they are finished, then proceed to get some paper or a chalk board. It works. I have done this to both my boys and know that I'll have to do it with my one year old soon :)

Appropriate age group(s):
2+
