Lol at this story

Your daughter is smart af. But honestly, kids make mistakes. Just talk to her and make her apologize.

OP - Your kid is a kid. They do not need counseling. This doesn’t mean they are a bad person.

I’d ask them what they think a good consequence would be and maybe go with that. But I bet that they won’t forget this and it will be a good lesson no matter what.

Who is they? The kids her DD stole from, the teacher she lied to a bunch of times, or DD herself?

OP sounded like she thought job well done because her kid cried when she was caught. She hasn’t been back for that reason. You can raise little assholes, and it sure seems like you’re doing that.

I’m not OP. I was talking to the people on this board. Have some compassion.

I didn’t say you were Op. I have compassion. I also think it’s wishful thinking to say this particular incident/pattern is typical little kid lying or stealing, and that the kids who had things taken and were observed crying deserve apologies. Wish it away, but my guess is that all staff at the school now know about it and are very concerned about OP’s DD.

When I was 6, there was a small corner store next to my church. My parents never bought me candy. Some kids at church would go to the store. I used my $1 offering money to buy candy. I was not trying to steal from church or god. I was just little and wanted candy.

I can’t remember if I got caught or if I just stopped. I don’t remember some huge punishment.

I would worry the other kids and parents labeling your daughter a thief.

Does she have friends in the class? Did she steal from any of them?
