[quote=Anonymous]I think you did fine, but would have some sort of additional consequence, especially since returning it to the store wasn't a big scary deal. To me, the logical consequence for this is not trusting him or giving him the "freedoms" he has earned as a 7 year old. If you go shopping together, he holds your hand and stands right next to you in the store. Maybe he even needs to be supervised" in the same room as you at home, can't go over independently to play with friends or neighbors, or run ahead at the playground, etc. He has shown he can't be trusted, and thus will be treated like a much younger kid for a while. If that means sitting in the kitchen and doing something quietly while you prepare dinner instead of playing or watching TV elsewhere in the house, then so be it until he demonstrates he can be trusted.[/quote]
