Never.

I did put butcher block paper up on the wall for a month once and had a big marker/crayon/collage city going. But I made the boundaries very clear with painters tape, so it never went outside of the paper.

My normal kid did it once, my special needs kid never did it.

I have boys and they never did this. Teenagers now.

My oldest did it once, right after she learned to write her name and was practicing it pretty much everywhere. I took away all of the markers and crayons for a little while; if she wanted to draw, she had to ask me and I set her up at the kitchen table. That was enough to teach her not to do it again. My youngest never did this.

Never. 3 kids ages 5-15.

Yes, one way more than their twin. There were consequences and it didn’t seem to matter but it wasn’t constant either. Just a new masterpiece would appear here and there. The walls and furniture were not safe. They grew out of it.

DD (NT) did once intentionally at about 18 months. We still get a few marks on the floor when they’re doing an “art project” (they are very into these), especially from my 2 year old DS who is never careful even when reminded, but never another intentional incident. They always do their best to clean it up.

Never happened. DS had an easel (sp) that he could use with chalk and dry erase markers. He seemed to understand that was were he drew.

It happened here exactly once with my boys (mild ADHD but mostly NT). I screamed my head off, timeout, took away things, they knew I meant business and never tried it again.

There have been a couple of accidental pencil swipes on walls, but that’s it. Never deliberate.

My boys (now 10 and 14) never did this.

Never. One instance of writing his name on the carpet.

Have him clean it up.

Never

My NT boys never did this. Not once

I want to know what a normal amount of this is. I assume most people have a few incidents of this. I have one ES kid with SN who has done this recently during a meltdown and his preschooler brother is now showing a high degree of interest in all things fine motor. He’s coloring and doing worksheets all initiatived by him. No matter how many times I talk about not writing on the walls it keeps happening.
