How to stop a 7 year old from stealing?
Answer:
tell the kid if he doen't stop he can get in mayjor trouble, if the 7 year old keeps stealing call the non-emergency police number an dask 1 of them to come to your home and talk to the kid about it. I promise it will scare them so bad the won't steal again. here's how the police do it they come to the resadence and talk to the kid about what can and will happen to them if they don't stop stealing
Make them take the stolen item back and confess that they stole it and have them pay for the item. If they do not have the money to pay for it make them work for it.
hmmm... that depends what it is he's stealing.
has it cost you money? if you make him work to pay it off then thats a pretty good way.
if he's shoplifting then dont let him go to the store.
if he's stealing other stuff, then just keep a constant eye on him.
well take him/her on a trip to a prision and show him what will happen to him if he continues to steal in life i think it will change his/her mind before they steal again
There is a reason why he is stealing. You have to find out why and get him to stop. Counseling, loss of privildges may be necessary. You need to explain the laws and rules that are expected as well what the consequences for people who steal and what is says about the person stealing. You need to get this under situtation quick. Its both of your reputations, honor and trust at stake.
Another way to look at it is that the child is crying out for attention and not getting it, so he resorts to stealing in an effort to get any sort of attention, even it if means getting in trouble. Talk to the child, find out what is going on with him or her.
sit them down and have a serios talk with them about ethics and honor, hopefully its a phase, if not move close to your state prision so you can visit often
Make him take the thing he stole back. There is nothing more embarrassing in the world. Then also what could happen is the person or shop that he or she stole from might end up calling the cops. That will really teach him a lesson.
let him spend a say in the local jail
That's easy. "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Bet the kid won't steal again.
Make them return the stolen item.
Ground them from trips to the store for about a month after that.
HAVE A POLICE OFFICER HAVE A TALK WITH THEM ,. ( THIS MAY SCARE THEM NOT TO STEAL , SEE WHAT I MEAN)
keep on him. They probably don't have a whole lot of idea of property, at home everything is fair game.
take them to the police station
mine stole too. had a talk with the school teacher. decided that all of a sudden some of her things would "go missing" to get her to see the other side of it. - one day she would walk into the class room and whoops !! her chair was missing,next day: her pencil box gone !! at home : hmmm cant find your favorite toy?? guess someone stole it when no one was home !! she didnt much like being on the recieving end of "lost" stuff and it took about a week before she got the idea that borrowing without asking is stealing. and that having your stuff stolen isnt a very nice feeling.
