[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 61111, member: 3211"] Our easy child has gone through a couple of periods of times where I said she had "sticky fingers". Once, when she was about 5 or 6, I found a lipstick in her coat pocket. She said it was open on a shelf in the toy department and she just took it. Couldn't tell me why - it's not as if it was something she could actually use. She hasn't done it in quite a long time, although this past school year, she brought an old cell phone home that her teacher had put in with the toys in their play kitchen area in the classroom. She tried to tell me that it 'accidentally' fell into her backpack. Yeah, right. Next morning, I drove her to school and walked with her to her classroom - asked the teacher to come out in the hallway and made easy child tell her that she took the phone home and apologize. She cried, but she did it. The teacher told her she accepted her apology, etc. and talked to me after easy child went into the classrom. She said it was no big deal, but respected the way I handled it. I don't think easy child has taken anything since - not even 'accidentally'. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
