[quote=Anonymous]ITA with the suggestion that in addition to returning to the store and paying for the gum, the appropriate "punishment fits the crime" consequence is a revocation of any privileges he earned by being older and more mature. In our house, that would be screen time, lack of supervision in her room, slightly later bedtime, etc. I'd also have some proactive conversations with him about taking stuff that isn't his and taking stuff without paying for it. Since you mentioned the ADHD, it is likely an impulse control issue that will probably improve if it's an area of focus for him and you and any therapists he works with. When you talked to him about it, did he give any explanation for why he took the gum instead of just asking you if you would buy it?[/quote]
