I get it. You know what I meant though. I've seen some of the things you do with your kids, I know you have a good grasp on how to do things.

Look, you might be a fantastic parent who goofed up in this one area. He might be a phenomenal kid who saw an opening. The key is to not only punish his mistakes but to realize what part we played in the situation. That is how we learn to parent better and that is how they learn to avoid repeating mistakes.

What is the over-under on the hours of therapy required by Dense's grown children?

Yes, i would sell it, send a very strong message and nip this behavior in the bud.
Anything less than a very harsh lesson might lead him to think he can continue to get away with it. I've raised two into adulthood and i definitely would. |

Break it, then make your child run routes for 3 hours each day.

These are types of issues you hear about for a 13-15 year old. Not at 11.

Huge issue which if you see from the child perspective adds up to inconsistent messages and unclear boundaries. We have all been there at one time or another. It is easy to blame the kid when this happens but many times they are just a symptom of a bigger problem.

I have a nephew that did something similar to this. He used his mom's CC to purchase credits for some crappy facebook game. He would take $10 or so at a time hoping that his mom would never catch on. His mom isn't computer savvy at all so he was able to pull it off for a few months. Once she discovered it, i looked into it and found that the purchases being made online were coming right from their own IP address.
He was ground for a few weeks. The kid was 13. Do you give your kid an allowance? Personally, i thought if his parents gave him a weekly or bi weekly allowance, then he wouldn't feel a need to steal. |
