My daughter is nine so I haven't had to deal with anything like this yet but I would suggest you get her into counseling before she steals something from somewhere that will land her in juvenile detention. Good luck! ↑ |
I can empathize but unforturnately do not have any answers. My son (now 12) has had minor incidences before (stealing candy from siblings, a Hot Wheels car from the grocery store, food. But two weeks ago he stole an IPOD and two cell phones from school. He got busted at school and at home. The principal only gave him one day in ISS (In-school-supension) and I grounded him for a month. Two weeks later he is back in the principal's office - he wrote extremely ugly and threatening sentences in his English journal. He was suspended for the rest of the day and had to serve another day in ISS. I do not know what to do. He says he just sees something and has to have it. He is truely remorseful after the fact. He sees a counselor regularly. I may check into medication for implusiveness. He is already on Prozac for anxiety disorder. ↑ |
