I wouldn't say encourage her at all. That's just wasting product and money and teaching her as long as she cleans it up,she can make messes like that, in turn wasting money. Why encourage her? That's why kids do stuff like that, parents are TOO soft. Don't beat the shit out of her but a butt spanking never killed anybody. One firm warning and if she does it again, it's time for hand meets butt. Don't be a punk out and be soft. She IS only 5 but like I said a butt whooping never hurt anyone. My little nephew who's 2 gets his hands slapped or his butt hit. He's alive and happy today still.
