[QUOTE="Andy, post: 362891, member: 5096"] I am proud with how you are handling this and that you did not fly off the handle the moment she was found with the stolen item. I know I would have been just as super mad as you but doubt I would have stayed that calm. I would also have asked that my daughter skip the warning stage and be charged, however, maybe it is best that she gets a warning if it was strong enough to scare her. I like the terms you have come up with. I am just a little concerned about the no going into any stores for the Summer. That is a long time to keep up on. I tend to be not harsh enough so just take this as a grain of input - you know your daughter better than I do. Are you really willing to enforce this one? Three months is a long time to keep a 15 year old out of a store. You may want to tighten that one up with a shorter length of time and then add very strict boundaries for the rest of the summer. Like, "No going into a store, mall, or supermarket until after you turn in the letter of apology. At that point, you may enter foot in one ONLY if you are going with me or your dad. You will stay at our side the entire shopping time. If you can abide by these rules and not steal again, you will then earn back the privilege of being in a store, mall, supermarket without direct supervision when school starts next fall." You stated she is not to be home alone. You are going to be put into a large inconvience if she is not allowed to go somewhere when you need something. Unless I misunderstood and you did mean not going anywhere alone but can still go with you? If she does go with you, she pushes the cart and both hands are on the handle bars the entire time. Again, congratulations on not strangling her! Keep strong! [/QUOTE]
