[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 449936, member: 1514"] Your son is 10. I get the impulse control issues as well as the jealousy issues. I am also glad the other mom and you seem to have a good working relationship. That helps. I would also make absolutely no excuses for him and make him take the object straight back to his friend and have him apologize for what he did. Then I think I would take him by the local Juvenile services dept of the police dept and have them give him a talk about what could happen if he continues to steal. (Call them ahead of time to set this up) Most are more than happy to have a talk with a child to help set them on the right path. You should also come up with a natural consequence at home such as no electronics for x number of days...after all it was an electronic device. I wouldnt make it a huge number of days though because he is only ten. Maybe 3 or 4 days because much past that and he isnt going to do much but get frustrated and forget exactly why he is being punished in the first place. [/QUOTE]
