We caught her once and we were shocked. I decided to give her a second chance. I did not go to her parents this time because I thought she would not do it again because of getting caught. This little girl is an only child and has absolutely no reason to steal, except for maybe an emotional void. Both parents work long hours and it seems as if they are not committed to spending the time they should with their daughter. They drop her off with many different families to be looked after everyday. There seems to be alot of denial with the parents which is why I haven't approached them yet, but I feel I have to. I'm just not sure how. Please help!!! My daughter has a friend who is stealing from her and I don’t know how to deal with the situation. We caught her once and we were shocked.

In general children and adults lie to protect them selfs. In your situation, I think your doughter is lying because she feels unprotected because she does not have her father around, and she might feel worried that she might loose you. Your doughter lies to become perfect in front of you. I do not think that you should use any punishment to her. you should show as much as you can all your support and love. show to her that the most important reason to live in your life is your doughter and nobody else.Show her that you are her best friend and that you two can rock together. I really hope that my advice will help you. Sincerely Esmeralda Dear Natalie!
