[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh!  My 5 year old still writes on the friggin wall occasionally but that takes the cake for sure.

Are you going to get it repaired or leave it?  If you are going to get it repaired, it will cost money.  I would sit him down and tell him that what he did was an expensive mistake that's going to cost you a lot of money. Money that you could have spent elsewhere.  I'd put up a chore chart for the next month and make him do one thing every day that he's not doing already as a way of "repaying" the lost money.  Doesn't have to be brutal.  Putting away dishes.  Sweeping the kitchen.  Taking out trash.  Mark off each day he completes until he's done.  It will remind him daily for a long time about what he did.

And of course, have a discussion about how expensive things are and how we try to take care of them to make them last.   He wouldn't want you to ruin one of his toys or something else he cares about, would he?  [/quote]

This is a very good idea.[/quote]
