|  Stealing
My oldest son who is almost 7, seems to be going through this thing of stealing money lately and lying about where he's got it from. he's stolen money from me 3 times, which he really couldn't lie about. he's went as far as stealing from a shop too. And this morning I found money in his pocket which he finally admitted to taking from a kid in his class.
I'm unsure how to deal with this and put a stop to it. I've tried a few things, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any advice would be appreciated  |

Steal his stuff so he knows how it feels?

Humiliation and Guilt (if possible) is what happened to me.
My Mum, being an ex teacher and psychology graduate, was the master of 'I'm not angry, I'm just dissappointed'.
Except for that she still sounded raging, and screamed at me.

Have you done that thing where you leave a lighter lit until the metal bit is red hot then jam it into his neck?
