Has your kid written on a wall? If yes what did you do ?

No it was a dinner date, they were at our house with their kids. Had she mentioned anything about not leaving the box of crayons on the coloring table (we have an area dedicated for this). I would have accommodated

Both of you are at fault. You assuming leaving crayons out unsupervised because your child can doesn’t mean others know what to do.

But the mother should have offered to have child (and herself clean up the mess). A natural consequence would be to have the child wipe the crayon off the wall (hoping they are washable crayons). Once the child does so the adult shows/models that crayons belong on the paper. If they can’t follow that then crayons are removed.

Done easy.

Each of my kids drew on the walls once. We explained to them we don't write on the walls and made them help clean it up.
