1, don't panic.
When a child steals, parents should never panic and over-express their anger and disappointment, because this will make the child feel scared and may also cause the child to feel confused and disgusted with his behavior. Parents' values will provide standards for children's behavior, so it is important to establish correct values for children.
Parents need to tell their children not to take someone else's even a shot. Parents should guide their children to put themselves in others' shoes. Empathy can help children think from the perspective of others.
2. Guide children to realize their mistakes.
Don't take stealing as a lovely thing, but guide children to realize the mistakes and harm of this behavior. Parents can watch related TV programs with their children, read inspirational picture books, tell moral stories to their children, and let them learn to distinguish between good and bad.
3. Strengthen children's self-control.
Children steal things, probably because they lack sufficient self-control, which is also a habit that parents need to help their children develop through training. They need to know clearly what is private goods and what is public goods. Often play games at home, exercise children's qualities such as concentration and patience, and cultivate children's self-control in life.
4. Reward and punish simultaneously
In the process of educating children to steal, we need to find and punish children's wrong behavior in time. It is suggested to take simple and clear punishment measures, which will have far-reaching consequences for children. Parents should also give their children such positive guidance, give corresponding rewards according to their behaviors, and encourage their children to develop good habits.
Finally, parents must realize that it is normal for children to steal. Don't treat children as thieves. On the contrary, they should be given more full care and trust. While strengthening education and encouragement, children should also feel the warmth and beauty of their loved ones.
