I came to know that my son spend few money in the school. He is in third and at eight. When I questioned him, he given me different answers. One among that he got it from the play ground. All the parents say that their kids are also get money from play ground. Another is he found it in his pocket by afternoon. I ironed his shirt in the morning and didn't noticed anything. Though I beaten him, he was stick on his last point. Its very strange I feels and he is not changing his mind,

I think he is probably telling you only part of the story. He could be selling stuff at school on the playground (hence the finding it on the playgroud story) He also could be getting it from someone at the school who wants him to be quiet about something. You never know with little kids. From experience though, kids don't like to be punished and they will usually tell the truth not to be punished. Since you have already punished him and he is still saying that is where he got it from he is probably telling the truth. Let him know how serious it is and tell him that if he finds money again on the playground that he should turn it into the teach because someone could have lost it.

Number one, I would have told him that whatever answer he was about to tell me should be thought over a chosen very carefully because it could mean that he can make it worse by not telling the truth. If you punished him and he is still sticking to his story, then I would suggest going to the school and meeting with his teacher or the principal of the school and inform them of what he has told you. The faculty may have no knowledge, plus it could be another child giving his money away(I have seen it happen), or a younger child that has dropped it when "showing it off". Younger children think they are so cool when they have money and have to show everyone. Please talk to the teacher and the principal about this, and just a suggestion, next time make his spanking a last result. You want your child to be able to tell you things, not be afraid to tell you the truth. I am divorced, single, mom, and I know it is hard, but once your child realizes he can confide in you without repercussions, you will probably NOT have problems or as many than those who just yell and whip their children "just because". I am not telling anyone how to raise their child so please do not take offense at my suggestion, I just know that sometimes it can be hard. I learned the hard way that talking to them and earning their trust is the best way.
Good Luck!!! I hope the school can give you and the other parents some answerson where the mystery money is coming from!

Maybe you can ask the teachers if they could check the playground if there is money BEFORE the kids play around.Then you can tell the teachers if they could kinda spy on the kids or watch the kids while they play and see if there is anything supicious about the kids.
Oh and your son may be telling the truth about the playground since others found money also,but maybe they all found it and made a plan to not tell anyone at any costs.
Well, that is all the advice I can give you.Good Luck!

Rather than beating the child, you should have let him go to school, then go to the school, in your car, and parked where you were not visible, and seen if you could find out what is going on.
Are you going to go around and beat the rest of the kids? I don't think so..
Do some investigating at school, and suggest the other parents do the same...

I would guess that he got it from somewhere at school. Either another student, the teachers desk or purse. You need to talk with your son because this is a serious matter. He may of also taken the money from you before school. Good luck with sorting this out!

Sounds like there's something going on since other parents are finding the same thing with their kids. I would talk to someone at the school and let them know what's going on so they can investigate. Who knows what's going on!

I fell that if your son is adament about his point even after being punished for it, he is most likely telling the truth. I myself am a second grade teacher and it is my experience that if a child sticks to a story after being punished for it, they are usually telling the truth.

You just need to talk to him. Over and over again. Talk to him. Explain to him the importance of being honest. Build a relationship with him that will make it easier for him to be open with you. Not until then will you know if he is being honest about things. We can't tell you.

Teachers are the last to know since they aren't allowed to discipline kids that also don't get it at home!

He's lying. But beating the truth out of him isn't the answer.
