We are doing a little in house community service. Charles - who is 6 and should know better - was caught marking his territory. He wrote on his walls!
I've made up a little chart for him - you know, visual reenforcement and all that - and for each 5 minutes of work he does, he can mark off a square. When all the squares are marked, he is done. I've hung it on his bedroom door so it is constant reminder.
I hope it works!

I remember when my oldest wrote on the wallpaper in the kitchen, because at one point I told him that writing was only to be on PAPER - get it, wallPAPER.
sounds like a good strategy!
Awesome EM!
It is a great idea....more kids need to learn there are consequences for their actions before they have to realize it in the real world.
You definitley have your kids best interests at heart.
Thanks Ladies! It is so hard sometimes. Chris I can't stop chuckling about the wallpaper - although I am sure it wasn't funny at the time! Kids can be so literal sometimes can't they?!
