[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 200705, member: 1991"] You've handled this really well. I especially like that you involved her in her own punishment. Frankly, I believe in natural consequences and making the punishment fit the crime. To punish by taking away her possessions has SOME fitting here because SHE took YOUR possessions; but in general, that sort of punishment can seem too much like revenge and not enough like consequences. Writing letters of apology - VERY good. VERY appropriate, very effective and rarely done. It's often far easier for the child to be grounded, than to write the apologies. Apology letters would have been a BIG punishment, for her. Marg [/QUOTE]
