Many children know no bounds in realizing their creative potential.

If a child wants to draw, then the drawings may well appear on the wallpaper or on the table.

Of course, the baby's parents are unlikely to like this.

The problem is that persuasion rarely helps to stop a child from drawing on a particular surface. A child may make a promise and then forget about it.

Luckily, there is an easy way to channel your little one's creative energy in the right direction.

What should parents do?

It would seem that punishment is unavoidable, since an overly active child cannot help but draw on the walls.

In fact, you can avoid unpleasant consequences and keep your wallpaper clean without taking any radical measures.

It is enough to simply give the kid an alternative. Buy an album, several coloring books, a set of good colored pencils, brushes and watercolors. Such gifts will definitely please the child.

Teach your child a simple rule: "You can't paint on the wallpaper. Want to paint? Take an album or a coloring book."

Oddly enough, in most cases this action is enough to ensure that no patterns appear on finishing materials and tables.

Most likely, an interested child will quickly learn the rule, because he has everything for “normal” drawing.

And if your child does start to paint on the wallpaper, immediately remind him that you have an album.
