Any idea why our kids steal and then deny doing it? No boundaries?

[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 545620, member: 2211"] Yes, I agree with this statement. When difficult child was in primary school she stole all the teachers calculators. I just broke down crying and couldn't understand why. Then she stole all the teachers class books that the kids were reading. She never had an explanation. Then, after a few meetings and some counseling, she stopped. Years later, after her assault she started up again, except it was our personal belongings, such as my wedding band, easy child's jewelry and a ring of H's. I asked her if she took them and she said no. When I found them in her drawer weeks later she burst into tears and said she didn't remember taking them. It wasn't the usual victim cry that we were used to-it really was scary. In meeting with the therapist, he explained it was a form of coping. Considering what she had been through it was totally understandable. And once we addressed it, it ceased. Now, that said, difficult child still helps herself to things she shouldn't, such as easy child's jewelry or clothing but she doesn't try to hide it and will just state that she has it or borrowed an item.
