[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 569321, member: 14557"] Malika, in that age it really is very common. Even more common with kids with impulsivity issues. In my experience these things start around 4 and, if there are no other problems, die down before around age ten. I would be worried if kid does it all the time, but few times at that age, I think it is quite normal. And yes, you take them to give it back and apologise. Not fun for anyone but it does usually help and kids only do it few times. Both of my kids did it, curiously, if I remember correctly, easy child more times than difficult child, maybe because he had more friends, visited them and had more situations where he was tempted (it most often was a toy from the friend and he denied and claimed he found it.) Also several kids stole my kids' toys. When dealt appropriately it seemed to be something kids did few times (often in rather short period), then stop it and maybe have a other similar period again few years older, that often also including shoplifting. I don't know any of these kids (well except my difficult child) would had had problems with stealing later. And with my difficult child the dynamics have been very different in later situations.
