[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen is incredibly sneaky. At night, when it’s time for bed, I’ll take her phone and computer (per her doctor’s advice), but she will find a way to creep into my bedroom at 1 in the morning and steal them. She also sneaks cash from my wallet and will eat everything she can find, even if it’s for someone else or if I’m saving it.

I’ve discussed this with her and she has apologized but hasn’t changed her ways at all. It’s getting exhausting trying to keep her in check.

Tips? [/quote]

I'd lock or hide the devices, and/or have consequences for these transgressions - sneak the phone or computer for one night?  Loose is for the next 2 complete days or 3 days, or 4 days increase it until it stops.

Does she get an allowance or have the ability to earn money?

The food issue is not something to punish, to be honest, unless it's a persistent feeding on junk/sugar in which case, you are buying it so you need to change your buying habits and what you have available in the house.

OP here. Thanks for the reply. She has plenty of money and I’ve always said that if she needs to buy something, I’ll always give her money (within reason, of course). We both lock and hide the devices, but she manages to figure out the passwords and find them. If it weren’t such a problem, I’d be impressed. 😅[/quote]
