[QUOTE="Andrea Danielle 2, post: 431782, member: 6385"] I need parenting advice... difficult child is taken care of by a very kind neighbour after school at her home. In the last few weeks we have had several issues... he stole money from her last week, he returned the money and seemed to feel terrible. Then yesterday, he stole 5 dollars from her again. Then, today he got angry with her over something very small (I haven't heard his story yet) and he put his foot up to her tv screen, she told him to stop and... he kicked the screen and broke it. Obviously we have to buy her a new one - it will be about $1000 to replace. difficult child will be home soon with his dad, he went to football right after the incident. Any suggestions on how to respond to him? I will listen to his explanation, although I can't imagine what reason he could give for this. I don't normally use consequences, I am 100% collaborative problem solving but feel that for this he needs to be punished in some way. Thinking of taking away tv for a few months (would be good anyway), and having him use his allowance to start paying us back for the cost to replace it... Thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
