[quote=Anonymous]What is her reaction when she is caught? My DC went through a stealing phase (although of course we didn’t know it was a “phase” at the time) of sneaking gum in his pockets at checkout. It happened 3 times. Each time, he broke out in tears and was remorseful when caught. It was an impulse thing. He had to go back to the store, apologize, and come home to do chores to pay us back for having to buy the gum. Maybe chores for your daughter to pay you back would be a good consequence. Later - after a period of no stealing - I’d institute a small allowance so that she can use her own money for snacks. Right now, the stealing is a bigger issue than snacks. [/quote]
