PARENTING a DAUGHTER! PLEASE HELP!?

Question

Our little one(6 yrs) wont stop stealing from the family, her brother in particular.

She steals his items, even his candy bar if he has it on the counter.

Shes tried stealing at a store.

She hides wrappers when she steals her brothers candy in the air vents!

We feel like we've tried everything. Grounding. Giving her something special and having it stolen, to teach a lesson.

we've gone into her room and packed all her toys in a box!

She still steals and lies.

We are running out of options.

Please give us some ideas!

Thanks!

Answer 1

I also think kleptomania.

She should be taken to a counseler.

\She sounds like a real P.I.T.A!

lol

Good luck

Hope that helps

Answer 2

Sounds like your daughter may have kleptomania...

Answer 3

I'd pack all the toys in a box and keep them away from her until she goes atleast 2 weeks without lying.  Leave her with bedding and some clothes, and that is it.  If she does it again back ALL the belongings go.

I normally don't spank, but this would be an action that deserved it, so you might think about that.

Answer 4

Take her to a children's shrink/ he can help you figure out what is really making her do this

Answer 5

Have a police chief sit down with her (if he doesn't mind) and have him talk to her about the severity of her actions.

Answer 6

Try spanking her. It hurts but it may help.
