[QUOTE="Malika, post: 434737, member: 11227"] Yes, I know where you're coming from, Keista, as they say.... This is a complex area - no easy answers. From my perspective, my son hadn't really taken on the message that I wanted - which was not that HE was bad, a "burglar", but that stealing is bad... I feel that's quite an important distinction. I want him to understand that others have rights, just as he does, and that just as he would not want a favourite toy to be taken, another child does not. Also in our society stealing is unacceptable and outside the law and that is also important to take on... But making him feel bad about himself seems to drive him to behave even more badly. I don't have a view about it really as much as that is just my empirical observation, as it were... [/QUOTE]
