Many parents allow their children to spoil the wallpaper in the apartment, referring to the age period and hoping that the child will not learn to tear the wallpaper himself. However, until this happens, you will have to re-glue the wallpaper more than once to keep the room neat.
With the advent of the opportunity to stand up and approach the object of interest, the baby will reach out and tear the wallpaper out of curiosity. Having mastered this skill, he will love the sound and tactile sensations, and will certainly want to repeat it again. If the parents did not notice in time and did not explain that it was wrong, then the child will tear the wallpaper again and again. For children of the second year of life, damage to wallpaper is a more deliberate process that arouses not only curiosity, but also the study of the scope of permissibility. There are children who tear the wallpaper out of prank and harm. Therefore, before choosing a weaning method, you should determine the reasons for this behavior. Depending on this, choose a more severe or instructive warning.
If the baby likes to rip the paper, the mother lets him rip the old book. But this shapes his future attitude towards books. Newspapers and magazines are also contraindicated for such pranks, because the dyes contain poisonous lead, all the more dangerous if a child begins to chew this paper. And the paper for the printer is very tough, the baby can cut himself unpleasantly on it.
When you first discover how your baby is tearing the wallpaper, try to distract him and switch to another activity. In addition, well-glued wallpaper is not easy to tear off the wall. But if the wallpaper does not hold well, especially near the baseboard, this is a provocation for atrocities on the part of the baby. If a piece of unsticked paper sticks out from the wallpaper, it should be immediately sealed with glue or tape so that there is no temptation to tear it off. It would be correct to entrust this task to the child himself: give him a glue stick and show him how to stick a piece of wallpaper to the wall. More than once it was noticed that after that the kid himself runs after the glue if he finds another piece of wallpaper. For older children, the following method is suitable: explain to the child that if he continues to spoil the wallpaper in his room, then you will not change him to new ones, but in yours you will make a beautiful repair. In any case, it is necessary to be firm in resolving this issue. Try to introduce a limit on wallpaper breakage, allowing it to be done, for example, only behind the sofa. This method should be used only if you really plan to make repairs in this room in the future.
