Even in close-knit families where to children it is paid much attention, the kids sometimes behave so that it is not pleasant to adults. Damage of wall-paper – the phenomenon quite frequent. The kid can tear, draw them on them felt-tip pens, and even put into practice expression "oil painting". To abuse it it is useless, but to try to look for a way out, certainly, it is necessary.
When it happens
Parents of children of early age most often face this problem. After three years the desire to tear wall-paper usually passes. This age phenomenon which can have several reasons. For example, to the child can be simply interesting to see how the big piece of paper turns into small. Happens that the child tries to draw thus attention of parents if they insufficiently with it are engaged. Also little negativist who tear wall-paper only because it is not pleasant to adults exist. Methods of fight against this phenomenon will be different.
Method for inquisitive
The simplest option is when the child tears wall-paper from interest in process. Interest can be switched to something another. For example, to give it the big sheet of paper which is torn not worse than wall-paper at all, and rustles even even more loudly. It is possible to allocate to the child a corner in the apartment where with wall-paper it is possible to do everything that it will be necessary for it: to tear, to draw, paste pictures. It is useful to paste in this corner a special leaf of wall-paper, but only partially that he sought as it is possible better. An opportunity to self-express freely will distract the child from destruction of wall-paper in all apartment.
It is possible to use, for example, a tracing-paper, wax paper and even old newspapers.
Lack of attention
If the kid tears wall-paper because not enough attention is paid to him, it is necessary to give it what it lacks. He waits that he will be scolded at least. Punishment is attention too. It is not necessary to abuse. Be engaged with it in something interesting simply more often. From paper it is possible to design, on it it is possible to draw, do origami and many other things. Begin to be engaged in all this together with the child. You will also not notice how the deficiency of attention will disappear by itself.
Is aged more senior than three years ways to draw attention can be much less harmless.
Way for the negativist
The children's negativism is especially characteristic of "the first awkward age" when the kid begins to demand independence and constantly insists on the. In this case do not focus attention on wall-paper. The kid waits for yours it "is impossible". Well, surprise him. Praise for the torn-off wall-paper and ask to make still likewise. You should not use such method too often as the negativism can remain for the rest of life.
Technical method
If after all your efforts did not give the expected effect – well, wall-paper – not the only way of finishing of walls. It is possible to fit, for example, the room fabric or to make a setup. Besides, it is always possible to find wall-paper from materials which to tear rather difficult even to the adult if at all it is not impossible in sale. They, of course, are more expensive paper, but constant experiments of your kid will not irritate you.
