	Primary Schoolers Borrowing And Stealing
	Primary Schoolers Borrowing And Stealing Young children don't know the difference between borrowing and stealing but they will gradually learn. There are lots of reasons why children steal: because they want something because their friends do it because they feel unwanted or unloved to take revenge to look big and tough in front of their friends. You can: tell your children by words and example that stealing is NOT OK make sure your children know the rules let your children know you have faith in them to do the right thing let them 'borrow' something and return it be careful not to leave small change or other temptations around care about even small amounts of money give children small tasks like shopping or buying lunch and bringing home the change. If the child has stolen more than once you need to find out why. You need to act quickly by: finding out exactly what happened finding out as much as you can about why they were stealing finding out if the child has hidden what has been stolen making the child return the property and apologise talking to the child about why people do not steal and the effects stealing has on others making the child repay things stolen from a shop not letting children eat things as you go round the supermarket letting children know you can trust them in the future.
