[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 574871, member: 1991"] You can't let it slide, that's for sure. He needs logical consequences which include apologising to those he stole from, and accepting that he has lost trust because of his own actions. He will have to earn back that trust. I would talk to him, try to find out why he stole, what his thoughts were at the time. Help him see what was wrong, and that if it had happened to him (ie stuff stolen form him) he would have felt awful, violated, devalued - whatever will get through to him. He is only 7, but that is old enough for a lesson in how to respect other people's boundaries. let him know (and follow through) that he must now be watched like a hawk, not trusted, searched, and suspected every time something goes missing. And he only has himself to blame. Marg [/QUOTE]
