[quote=Anonymous]Maybe get a CBT therapist. Teach him, "Just because I have an impulse doesn't mean I have to act on it." I agree with doing the allowance thing. There are workbooks on impulse control that teach some basic concept of impulsivity. Impulse control is not something that is built overnight...it is neurological. I don't have experience with these exact issues but I agree with not giving major attention to it. Can you do a reward system: for each day you don't get a report of stealing or lying, he gets a point and after earning x number of point (say 5 in 6 days) he gets a reward. Don't give major attention to transgressions, only to the absence of them. I also agree with giving allowance, and maybe buying him a special gift to celebrate something positive so he has more control over acquiring a few special things and feeling good about himself...(i.e. teach him that there are positive ways of going about acquiring things, within reason of course).[/quote]
