1, to help children establish the concept of ownership.

Although the "egocentric period" is the growth track, as parents, we can't turn a blind eye to our children's insatiable behavior. We should use our brains to help children establish the concept of "ownership" as soon as possible, that is, let them know how to respect the ownership of others.

Parents can "set an example" and ask their children to put their belongings back in time. Parents can borrow toys from their children and tell them how long it will take. Only with the consent of the children can you take it away, and you should say "thank you" to your children when you return it.

2. Cultivate children's self-control.

In daily life, parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's ability to control impulses. For example, to buy back what children want, parents can tell their children that they can only get it if they behave well instead of giving it to them immediately. Parents must praise their children's self-control when they don't touch anything in the mall.

3. Let children learn to empathize.

If children take other people's things, we can let them know what is right and wrong through hand puppet games and making up stories. Let the child learn to empathize, let him realize how anxious he is to lose something, and encourage him to return it in time.

Note: children must have their own reasons and reasons for stealing. Parents should ask their children why they stole first. In addition, beating and cursing will force children to lie, leading to more lies in the future, which is not conducive to solving the problem. Beating and cursing will make children feel wronged and close the "door" of communication.

Some anxious parents criticize their children when they see them stealing, regardless of whether strangers or relatives and friends are present. This is not right. Even if strangers or others are found laughing and humiliating the children who steal things, they should stop them in time. Education for children should not be based on hurting children's self-esteem.
