Thank you for sharing. I am going to be using some of your tricks with my little Radish (I hope you don't mind).<BR/><BR/>I have to admit that one of my daughters is a theif too. It's a behaviour that has only started since the adoption of her younger sister and I am hoping it stops soon. She has already been "banned" from one of our local shops - she was on a school trip when the incident happened. I was mortified. I feel your pain.<BR/><BR/>I hope it gets sorted soon for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-13709181160491124802008-10-23T11:13:00.000-04:002008-10-23T11:13:00.000-04:00One of my twins is the same way.

You have to pat her down, make her take her shoes off, search her bookbag, etc. every morning before she goes to school and every afternoon when she comes home. Somehow even with all that searching she still managed to "acquire" one of my credit cards and take it to school with her last school year. <BR/><BR/>But she never steals from stores. It always has to be from someone she knows. <BR/><BR/>I'm beginning to feel like I'm training for an airport security job.<BR/><BR/>I'm about ready to buy her a clear backpack and cut all the pockets out of her pants.S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01859517936198431266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-11849918986485108442008-10-22T13:50:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:50:00.000-04:00Oh yes.

Not to mention all the stuff she stole from other kids. For us, it is just a fact. Anything not tied down is "hers" in her eyes.<BR/><BR/>Toby also likes to steal, too. But his is more specific to stuff he can actualy play with. That is much easier to deal with than the crazy stealing. If you find the cure, let me know.Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-30232426488084785482008-10-22T08:20:00.000-04:002008-10-22T08:20:00.000-04:00We had a similar problem, one of the boys would ta...We had a similar problem, one of the boys would take anything he could get his hands on, so before we left any where, I would take them to the bathroom to go "potty" then while there, I would check pockets, coats and bags...it worked and I checked them both so he didn't feel singled out and targeted...I know this won't work for people coming to your house but it might for when you go other places!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091362651489461567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21448744.post-59334326280848694752008-10-21T22:52:00.000-04:002008-10-21T22:52:00.000-04:00You know, I think Ava is the most like me of all y...You know, I think Ava is the most like me of all your kids.
