[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem determined to believe your daughter is just plain bad.  It sounds like she has could have issues with executive functioning.  Have you taken her to a developmental pediatrician?[/quote]

What is with all the judgmental lurkers on this site looking to validate themselves by attacking people who admit that their children aren't perfect?  This isn't about trying to see my daughter as being bad. My daughter has a great many very positive character traits. She's fun, outgoing and friendly in a way that's very engaging. Even though she can't stop socializing in class, her teachers are generally fond of her because she has a sunny disposition. BUT, I know that if she doesn't learn that stealing is unacceptable, those traits won't matter at all. She's an intensely social person and she loves her friends. The last thing I want is for her to be branded a thief. She's likely to go through the rest of elementary school, middle school and high school with the same group of kids and I don't want a reputation for untrustworthiness to ruin her experiences. Is that clear enough?  [/quote]

OP "can't stop socializing" also suggests executive function issues. That is why people are suggesting that there may be a neurological issue rather than a parenting issue or character issue. [/quote]
