[quote=Anonymous]People think I'm harsh and unreasonable, but this is exactly why I only let the kids play with actual TOYS. Grown up things (tools, electronics, shoes, knives, whatever, are not toys.) Toys are built to be abused, grown up things aren't. I agree with the others that how to proceed depends on why/how the items are being broken. Are you preoccupied with something else and he's bored and wants attention? Is he just immature for his age? Is he trying to figure out how they work? (I know kids who take everything apart just to figure out how they work.) Does he need more active time outside to burn off a lot of energy? Some kids are indoors too much and don't know how to funnel that pent up energy appropriately and frankly just need to be outside. [/quote]
