Stealing/ kleptomania in Personality

We all try to fulfill l the dreams of our child. Many at times we stuff the kid’s room with toys and other means f comfort. It mostly results that your child does not understand the difference of need. Need is some thing one should realize early in life. After all there is limit to materialism. Child should be able to differentiate between emotion and money making machine.

Most of the times when both the parents are working them just in order to hide their own guilt over pamper their child. You will be surprised to know that child is very smart and they very soon develop the habit of black mailing. Never let them do that because baby is part of family.

There are few things you must keep in mind:

·         Baby need to acclimatize in the existing set of family.

·         They should understand meaning of NO without being too sensitive.

·         Child need to understand the value system of the family else he/she will soon be a loner.

·         Love can be shared without money transition. Like sitting together and watching his/her favorite programs.

·         Study together.

·         Normal appreciation of his/her efforts. And imitating same efforts.

·         Spend some time without TV or phone with your baby.

·         Clean his/her room in presence and ask baby to help you.

·         Assign some work as to realize baby is also contributing in family affairs.

·         Ask for water or cleaning shoes as to realize them that cleaning is not a bad job to do.

·         If you give pocket money do no forget to ask about his management. Also ask about savings.

·         Do not keep on telling that kids today are very smart other wise they will take you for granted.

There is always a process of learning and unlearning. These are my ideas which might help to bring family closer and will develop good family value.

Many at times when you do not stop on materialistic demands of your child he/she may develop habit of stealing. Along with stealing definitely he/she will develop habit o hiding also.In long term they may turn out to be kleptomaniac(habit of picking things from shop)  Do not panic or slap your child. Before doing that think about the cause. Parents should always be problem solver. Discipline in life is very important aspect.

In this kind of situation we start blaming child and friends but in most of the cases we our self are the root cause. Because" high feeling" after every shopping is because of the parents. Its always important to be balanced. Do not always say no to all demands. Its equally important for the kid to "demand"- this will help him develop communication skill and persuasive skill. And believe me its great fun to even see that. Child is very good presenter. Let them groom and develop this skill.

Another aspect of child care is trust. Do not loose trust in them. And if you trust them definitely they will try not to breach that trust as ts priceless for them.

Hope this article will prove effective in your child grooming.
