My five year ancient will not quit stealing and lying. What can I do? He steals mostly my things?
Answers: ok...here`s what I would do. He comes home soon to find EVERYTHING missing from his playroom (it`s going to be a lot of work but contained by the end, you`ll be glad that you did...and hopefully this will be the one and just time you need to hold such drastic measures)
He`s going to FREAK OUT. That`s when you explain how it feels to enjoy your things taken and give him lone one toy per day spinal column. AND if he steals in the meantime, you start again and pinch EVERYTHING away.
Now, it`s time to be cruel and sneeky....you call for info on boot camp (they don`t have this for kids his age but he dosen`t necessitate to know this). When you call, ask them to communication you color brochures and then show your son that that`s where on earth he will need to dance if this behaviour continues. UNACCEPTABLE....don`t tolerate him overhear you on the phone or talking to clan and friends about this. It`s appreciably attention he`s seeking. Instead, starting immediately, try a different approach. Talk him up as much as you can something like all the things he does ably...give him the clear message that he can hold an abundance of your attention...solely for the positive things he does.
You may want to try talking to him and advisory him that you will indeed follow through with consequences nominated above before man drastic and removing all his stuff.
This approach works.
Good Luck.
