How do you react when you have a young child that steals? You've talked to him/her several times, told him/her everything that has to be said about the consequences of pilfering. You do ALL you can to provide his needs and wants. But he keeps 'doing it'. How do you help or stop such a child? A reader sent this in yesterday:

Hello,

My son steals from me, my husband, my mother, his grandparents, his friends, everybody!! Please, let's discuss this here because I'm sure I'm not the only mother having this problem. If it's not money, it's things as small as tiny toys and games from neighbors. Sincerely, it's gotten so bad I don't know what to do with him anymore. My husband and I now have locks on our bedroom door to keep him out.

Problem started when he was 11 and got into boarding school. He is 13 now. I've threatened him that next time he steals, I would have the police involved. Of course I don't want to or plan to do that but I don't know what else to do.

The child needs therapy. A child psychologist, and a psychiatrist. And the earlier the better

Take him to OLX. Sell it

Op u didn't mention if he's ur 1st child or so and hw abt d siblings. Some likely causes dat most parent overlook is if u and ur hubby don't unite in doing things in d presence of d child when he was little. Perhaps dad is a muslim, mum is xtain, dad and mum eats seperately and even use separate rooms. As in he does his things, I do mine or only one of d parents really hav d desire to correct d child while d other pampers or there wasn't intimate connection like emotional or so with d child while growing up or u were permissive to him giving him space.

Would like to ask; does d boy really fear u..by fear I don't mean he has to be afraid of u but is d respect he has for u really high

The reason I'm asking all these is cuz stealing in children is usually due to parental extremeness of strictness or pampering. There should be a balance btw d 2 especially at growing stage. This balance serves as a proof against external influence.

Work on these questions. Be united as parents. Let d child knw ur common fears as parents 2gether not as mum alone or as dad alone and pray for him. If after doing so he doesn't change then it may nt be ordinary

B4 u can call it medical or psychological, a family history of u and ur husband is necessary to know if anyone has or had had such an ailment.

Hmmm..

I think the boy may be suffering from kleptomania. Should go and see a psychologist.

take him to boston home.

Be praying for him and always talk to him to stop it

HerexG:


Ain't nothing like doing it yourself my dear, that good teacher too gat his own worries too.

I like you, you sound like a potential great mom. Can I get to know you ?

mehn,see pick up line.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] carry am go

I can totally relate cos av been in his shoe b4 tho mine was suffering ( was living wit my uncle nd wife den,and d wife hardly gives me good food) buh wen I went back to my parent,i discovered d stealing stopped cos I had everytin in excess. You shld just take him to a good counsellor/ psychologist ,it can still be curbed now dat he's still young,and keep praying for him

Kleptomania in the building. ..

You need to pray about it and often talk to him , these stuffs he takes ,it might not really because he wants them but because he lacks contentment and feels inferior , give him attention and often take him out . These would help him.

@ op Jst keep on advicing him he will surely change.when i was little i steal a lot mine was even worse dat' at the age of 14 i stole 38,000 naira from a stranger...i normaly buy phones wit the cash i steal tho my parents dont carter 4 my entertainment needs jst food,clothes nd school shiit only they taught i will become an armed robber when i grow up buh hay i changed along the line.

Show him Nairaland pictures of what happens to thieves when caught in public. No mercy, tires around their necks and roast to death. May it not be his portion.

I suggest a very emotional "tet a tet" backed with prayers.

MsBliss:
Carry am go Army school or report him to one soldier then leave him in the soldier's care for just one day.Go back in the evening to pick up your changed son.

Congratulations you just made him a hardened criminal in a day.

everything in Nigeria to Nigerians is spiritual. Here is someone asking bout what to do and someone here is say deliverance. Omo u Gats go deliverance to free yourself frm this backward mentality. #justsaying

A psychologist is what he needs. Like most Africans, all they do is beat, beat and beat without using their brains. You don't beat behaviors like this out of children. You need a psychologist who will scare them with happens to thieves. when he has watched series of documentaries of how thieves have been executed gruesomely, he would start considering his options.

use him for sacrifice or direct killing

HerexG:




Yes it has but its disadvantages are overwhelming

The truth is that a child that would be bad would be no matter where he schools.

Something definitely went wrong in his upbringing & figuring out and addressing this will help change him. I believe he will change with more maturity.

Cheesux Christ!

I dont mean to be rude but...... did l hear you say like Mother like Son?

Hmmm... sins of our Parents!

May God deliver him. Please pray for him


Lastpage!

You have to be very close that child and make him to tell you what he crave for at every point in time. Try to provide it for him or else he seeks for it the wrong way.

As he grows older he will always tend to maintain and let things be, instead of getting His want satisfied the wrong way.

LET HIM SPEND ONE WEEK IN PANTI PRISON,, HE WILL BECOME A PASTOR by the time he's out..

Guy u wicked...


U mean sey d woman sef bin get same issue..

Well I fink she shud take to ur advice

Since when did going to boarding school make one a master of every possible vice? It's indicting to those of us who attended boarding schools. D parents know d source of their childs problem so should tackle it accordingly applying more tact and less brute.

Here is what I would do

Let all past incidents go. don't punish him for them but make it clear to him stealing is morally wrong and if he steals again he will be punished

Pray for him, provide him with guidance and counseling if would help him

Let him know in return for meeting expectations which would include not stealing he will gain certain rewards such as more trust and privileges

Inform him of consequences if he again steals-- which would include corporal punishment as well as loss of privileges and trust

If you flog him combine it with other tools of discipline

ordinarily, I dnt love making. comments, bt blv ds one is critical . Deliverance as suggested by many is nt d issue in ds case, in as much as I blv In it.... He needs a leadership training.... u may nt understand ds aspect, bt will explain to u wen u contact me.... u can whatsapp me on 07038832917
