[QUOTE="CCRidr2, post: 44675, member: 3714"] Thanks guys! Marg, I didn't think of that......I hope your right. I did sit him down and talk to him about how someone else could be getting in trouble right now because they didn't turn in their lunch money or money for school picnic, etc. I told him that even that money would mean alot to us, I'm sure we're not the only ones in that boat (especially with gas prices). I had him put his hands up around his eyes (blinders) and had him look at me. "You can't see that picture on the wall now can you?" "No" "This is what it was like when you saw that money, you needed it to cover the extra spending, you took it and put it in your account. You know Mom didn't check your account for a few days because I didn't ask you about it and you thought you could cover it up before I noticed, right?" "Right" "You needed, you took, you fixed" "Yeah" "Ok, now take your hands down. Can you see the picture on the wall without turning your head?" "Yeah" "Put 'em back up" "This is your world" "Take 'em down" "This is the rest of the world. You need to remember that you are not the only one who has needs, but we don't take things that don't belong to us to fill them." "Ok" He walked around putting his hands up and down for about an hour. [img]:smile:[/img] How'd I do? Cyndi [/QUOTE]
