Now many parents are very sensitive to such character problems as theft and lying, and once their children have such behavior, they immediately wake up in their hearts and enter a "combat" state.
For children, it is very likely that they will be "completely destroyed" by their parents in ignorance, and there will be one more milestone event in their lives: or they will never dare to do it again, and they will not dare to go beyond the thunder pool; or they will be very careful to do such things and strive to improve their ability to conceal their parents; or they will become rebellious and always want to "make a comeback".
Therefore, when children are found to have such behaviors for the first time, parents should be cautious, carefully consider their own situation, and respond appropriately.
The main principles are: trust the child and make clear boundaries.
Trust the child
Don't characterize your behavior as a problem and label your child as a "thief." Children around the age of 7, in fact, have not yet formed a moral consciousness, and it is likely that there is no concept of "stealing", or the seriousness of this behavior.
First of all, understand the situation from the child and understand the reasons behind the child's behavior. In this way, parents and children can stand on the same front and solve problems together, rather than parents accusing their children of antagonism.
Children feel accepted and tolerated, feel the trust of parents in themselves, and are more likely to establish a positive image of themselves and make positive behaviors.
Clear boundaries
Clearly let the child understand that stealing something violates the rules of society and is absolutely not something to do.
Help your child figure out how to meet their needs in a reasonable and legal way.
Finally, be brave and take responsibility. For the theft that has already occurred, parents and children discuss how to make up for mistakes. The apology of the apology, the indemnity of the indemnity.
The growth of children will inevitably have a variety of problems, and when parents face these problems, the mentality is particularly important. As parents, we should help our children to help develop their qualities and abilities; give them love, believe in his autonomy and efforts, and help him become a better version of himself.
