[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids stole when he was pretty young. He went with his dad to the store and made him pay for it and tell them why. He has not been interested in repeating that experience. He really didn’t have a good reason. Would remember that people generally rise to the level of your expectations. Is your child someone who you expect to do wrong? Maybe your child is looking for attention and only gets it from you/ family when she acts out. So, try to ignore the bad stuff. Set special time aside weekly for one in on activities. Also, ask her with curiosity, not shaming, why she is doing this? Does she need opportunities to earn money? Would it be helpful to volunteer to help people less fortunate, to get perspective on what she does have?[/quote]
