[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 234464, member: 3419"] I think that may be enough, assuming your difficult child feels remorse and has learned a lesson. I'm big into writing 10X or 20X, "I promise not to steal," so that's a thought. When I was in 5th grade, a classmate who was actually a nice kid, swiped some candy from my desk ... and replaced it with something he had. One of the items was chocolate cigarettes (of course, I'd remember chocolate). He confessed to me and I was really ticked. I tattled on him. I feel guilty to this day. I don't recall what happened to him ... nothing huge, probably had to stay after and wash the chalk board ... but I felt put-upon and didn't think I expressed my dismay forcefully enough, and suspected I would continue throughout the yr with-exchanged items I didn't want, so that's one of the reasons I tattled. Sheesh, the things you remember. Anyway, he turned out all right. He never stole from [I]me [/I]again, anyway, and he still liked me after that. We ended up going to the same college. [/QUOTE]
