Also...Hello Leo! *waves*<BR/><BR/>Yes, chalk outside is good. Also on pavements, as long as they are the right kind of surface (some pavements you scratch scratch scratch away with your chalk and a little group of local children gathers around to watch this idiot adult attempting in vain to make marks on the ground).<BR/><BR/>And I haven't done potato printing for AGES!!!

When will people ...I couldn't agree with you more. When will people start to realize that it is the constant authoritarian being told what to do that creates misbehavior in the first place? If you don't expect blind, immediate obedience, you don't have issues with disobedient children.... oh wait, you all agree with me anyway... it's like preaching to the choir, eh?Friendstacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627520987199375398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701157.post-26388286037957734102007-05-05T10:21:00.000+00:002007-05-05T10:21:00.000+00:00Hey, you're writing on your blog again.

Cool.<BR/><BR/>Chalk in the outside walls is another good idea.<BR/><BR/>Another idea I've heard: cover the whole kitchen floor in paper and then distribute ready mix paint in several paper plates. Then just do it! With brushes, potatoes, hands, barefoot, wearing wellies, etc. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701157.post-35094711783350650312007-05-05T09:33:00.000+00:002007-05-05T09:33:00.000+00:00Hi Clare!I agree with both your comments.

I'd always try to control the drawing implements around (i.e. get rid of permanent markers and leave washable pens lying around instead) and make sure there's always plenty of paper and colouring books around, but if a child is quite determined to try writing on the walls, I'd love a way for the parents not to treat it as the end of the world, YK?<BR/><BR/>And I also agree entirely about the eating - if a person can't control what they put in their body and when, what on earth are they left having control over?emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105753491792762911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701157.post-19676702607698160972007-05-04T22:50:00.000+00:002007-05-04T22:50:00.000+00:00"draws on the walls"My 2 year old has a huge compu..."draws on the walls"<BR/><BR/>My 2 year old has a huge compulsion to draw whenever she spies a drawing implement and will draw on whatever she can find...just so long as I keep plenty of paper lying around for her to find then walls etc. don't get drawn on...it's sometimes worth trying to work out the motivation for some 'naughty' behaviours I think :-)<BR/><BR/>"wont eat"<BR/><BR/>Ignore it...make sure there are plenty of opportunities to eat, but no child will starve himself!<BR/><BR/>Just another couple of ideas :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
