Seeing the child and the humilation made me very uncomfortable...<br /><br />And JWG, I agree, I wonder what other forms of punishment have been used...Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-40322940563599001062012-04-10T12:16:19.792-05:002012-04-10T12:16:19.792-05:00On one hand, I am glad the parent is doing *someth...On one hand, I am glad the parent is doing *something* and not just ignoring the issue. My nanny's 10 year old daughter went snooping through my closet and stole several hundred dollars that I had hidden. Long story, but we know it was her. And her mother wouldn't do a thing about it. Couldn't believe that her daughter would ever do such a thing, blah blah.<br /><br />But much like doing *nothing,* I'm not sure that humiliation tactics are very effective. It's not getting to the root of the problem why the boy is stealing. Instead, it's just shaming him and will probably just make him feel mistrustful, isolated and angry. <br /><br />However, maybe that's all the boy needed to learn his lesson, and he'll never do it again. Not knowing the child, his personality, or the history, it's hard to say whether this was the best response, or the worst response...schnitzelbankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353695238159527112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-67416409577355160552012-04-10T12:02:18.586-05:002012-04-10T12:02:18.586-05:00It might stop the stealing but it is even more lik...It might stop the stealing but it is even more likely to have a long-lasting negative effect on the child's relationship with his parent. It also is going to leave him with feelings of shame that far outweigh the seriousness of the offense. What ever happened to making the kid take the stuff back and apoligize to the store manager? What worries me is the question of what else she has done to this kid.jwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848946240656789799noreply@blogger.com
