But I also agree with Vickie Valenta that it doesn't need to be a long time to get your point across; it could actually diminishing the effectiveness after a couple of days. <br />I have three boys--we don't deal with lying or stealing as much as physical stuff. I am regularly saying that hitting is wrong, and that adults who hit people go to jail. <br />Good luck--I'm interested to hear if this has made an impact in a good way!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003509923187311611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214961330691152669.post-24631773321072820912012-02-23T05:55:01.175-05:002012-02-23T05:55:01.175-05:00I think what you did was fine.

Kids can learn from experiencing how things feel themselves so hopefully this'll do the trick.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214961330691152669.post-61726882906017205172012-02-22T20:28:45.826-05:002012-02-22T20:28:45.826-05:00I think you made an impression and that is what yo...I think you made an impression and that is what you were trying to do! I agree that a time frame of about a week is good idea. She should know when the punishment is over. But also that it will be repeated if necessary. I love you dear.captwchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784663821999964372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214961330691152669.post-82079546523766440632012-02-22T19:58:57.101-05:002012-02-22T19:58:57.101-05:00I think you came up with a brilliant solution. My ...I think you came up with a brilliant solution. My only caution is that you shouldn't let it go on more than a couple of days. At 4 years old her ability to link her toys being locked away to her taking someone else's toys is not too long.<br /><br />I will say that, I think, if she is cunning enough to lie when asked about it, she knows it was wrong.<br /><br />And, yes, you can get kicked out of preschool.

What if you gave her a set time without her things, like a week and then if she did it again you would do it over for another week instead of leaving it open ended. <br /><br />My daughter is 9 and I STILL struggle with her lying...but most of my friends have the same problem with their daughters of the same age:) My oldest is 15 and she grew out of it...now we just have to deal with boyfriends and driving and...:)Not Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009188656750845683noreply@blogger.com
