I'm a regular poster but have changed my name for this.
My ds is in Year 2 and has started stealing from his friends and has now stolen money from my DH. He is very sorry when confronted (so far we've given the items back anonymously) but we're beginning to wonder whether he's sorry for doing it or sorry he's been caught IYSWIM. This has conincided with a general drop in his behaviour - rude, stroppy, cries at the drop of a hat, over dramatic etc.
We really don't know how to handle this and feel it's got past the "all kids pilfer" stage.
Please could anyone help - all suggestions gratefully received.
