ok i need some help and advice

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Nick was sent to the principles office yesterday as he was caught with someone else's snacks in his backpack. He was sent to the office for it. We talked iwth him on it, told him it was wrong and nto acceptable.

Today.....I found more snacks in his lunch. Took about an hour to get it out of him that he stole it from one of his classmates.....AGAIN

I don't know what to do....I'm afraid he has been stealing from his classmates all school year. There are times we have found wrappers in his backpack, and he has said he got it from our dayhome.....and Brandy does give them treats & stuff.....now I don't believe him with any of that anymore.

What would you all do to punish a 6 year old. Nothing seems to really phase him. He doesn't care......and he is too young to not give a rip already

I have had to on occasion make my dd give her favorite toy to charity to make up for a significant wrong.

If you know several of the children, I would make him write a small appology and confession while facing them during school and read it to them. All the while you and perhaps teacher or school principal is standing there. JMO!!!

He needs to understand that others were mistreated...

That's a toughie! Persoanally, I would make him pay to replace the candy you found and make a formal apology to the children in question. Humiliation goes a long way towards averting a repeat offence.
