I have a neice who is ten. she has been stealing money from her mom for quite some time. it started with a dollar here then the amounts started going up. last week she stole $150. my sister was frantic because she thought she had misplaced it and was becoming irresponsible. all week long the kids asked to go for dinner, and she told them she had no money to do this. she had no money for gas, groceries. nothing. now my neice is sitting there not saying a word. we went to the mall, and she had some birthday money left, next thing we know she is spending quite a large amount of money, when asked she lied and said the $50 bill was what the lady gave her back in change. that was a lie. after me standing over her, she finally told the truth and has been grounded. how do we deal with this stealing and lying from a ten year old?
