[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my 7 year old stole candy from a store I made her go in, apologize to the manager and pay for what she stole.

[b]In this context - several of her peers, I wouldn’t do that [/b]and would actually ask the teacher for guidance.

For an at home punishment, I might make to donate one of her toys to hammer home that she should be grateful for what she has and feel the sting of losing it. [/quote]

ITA here. She's 6. Please don't bring public shame into this. It will follow her around for the rest of elementary school. It may well/probably will follow her around without apology notes. Of course what she did is wrong and there need to be consequences but this isn't her coming home with a friend's toy or bracelet.

I think you should work with the teacher, principal, and counselor. And I'd think pretty seriously about getting her into therapy - maybe short-term to get to the root of this, but something. This was a pretty complex plan that she carried out over a good bit of time. That would concern me.[/quote]
