I usually don’t have any issues with my daughter. She’s literally so perfect. She may do normal kid things that gets her a firm talking to every now and again but she’s been an only kid until 2 months ago. So she’s enlisted these new friends and I feel like she tries so hard to be cool with them that she just does whatever. She and her friend colored on her white dresser and the floor in marker. I usually buy washable markers but I purchase her some coloring pad that came with its own makers and it doesn’t wash out. I know what you’re thinking … why would I buy her a white dresser but she’s really responsible and I never had these issues before. She usually colors at the table.So, I didn’t get upset about that I just asked she don’t color on the furniture again. Only at the table.

However , every time her friends come over something is destroyed or broken. I keep telling her not to allow people to destroy her things. She got a vanity for Christmas. CHRISTMAS!!!! 4 days ago. Already ruined. Okay. Whatever. I’ve asked her to stop cutting up paper in bits. I actually asked her to stop it all together. She’s an artist and I respect her artistry but it leaves a big mess for me to clean. I took away her pencil box with everything in it for 2 weeks. She took my pens to do her drawings within that time. So, I gave it all back & made clear she’s not to cut up anything into small pieces. I caught her doing it again last night, I told her again. Today her friends comes over and she does it again!!!! Idk what to do. Usually talking gets the job done and it’s not working anymore. She’s 6 years old. Shes at a big enough age where she can clearly understand what I’m saying. So, I know I can take the scissors away but she should be listening and following directions despite taking things out of her reach. Idk what to do anymore.
