So instead of teaching the little brat not to draw on the walls and doors, we’re just going to make it easier for her to do so? These kids need parents, not enablers!
I did that for my boys when they were very young. I painted a section of their bedroom wall with blackboard paint and put a little shelf next to it for the chalks. They used it a lot.
I know this is a cartoon, but . . . . whatever happened to the concept of disciplining a child? Guiding them? Teaching them right from wrong? I’m old; my son is in his late 40’s. So maybe I’m out of touch with “modern” parenting.

Rubbing alcoholic removes sharpie, Darryl. Give her an alcohol wipe and tell her to play scientist.

Actually that’s not a bad idea, you just have to show Wren

Thankfully there is washable paint available at the paint store.

It’s time to take the markers out of her hands and replace it with chalk, but make sure you show her where to draw first.

Just paint Wren’s room with black board paint and let her have at it.

when you give them permission to do something when you get yelled at from doing it loses it’s pleasure. :j

And Wren has another marker that she got from Zoe’s room. Zoe must have a four pack.

It’s time Wren got taught not to do that on walls and doors. Show her paper, and a place where she can draw.

Softly tell her “No” and then gently hit one of her fingers with a hammer.

This is sort of along the lines of my cats only coughing up hairballs on the carpet, instead of the easily washed wood flooring.
