It's important to teach your child to take responsibilityfor their actions. If you do you'll be helping them out, now, and in theirfuture. People in society will be thankful as well. First off, look to yourself. Do you take responsibility foryour actions? Such as, do you pay people on time? If not, what are you teachingyour child? Your child looks to you for the way to act. Do you try to blameothers for your mistakes? Or rationalize them away? "No Bob, it wasn't myfault the budget went over this month. There was a dress on sale I had to get."You need the basic necessities in life, like food and gas for the stove. Youdon't need another dress. You might like one. The sale might have been hard toresist. But if you bought the dress, at least own up to the fact you went overthe monthly budget and perhaps that wasn't the wisest choice in the end. If youdon't, your child will see how you're not taking responsibility for youractions. So why should they. Set ground rules for your child so they know what youexpect. If they break the rules, don't let it slide. You don't need to screamat them. But you should tell them that you are aware of what they did andtherefore XYZ will be the consequence. You can't make your child be sorry forwhat they did. But you can get them to take responsibility for it by givingthem a consequence. Take this scenario: There are two children, Child A andChild B, who are fourth grade friends. They often come and go to each othershouses. Child B really admires a knick-knack at Child A's house and repeatedlysays so. One day, the item goes missing. It is looked for and not found. Monthslater, Parent A goes to Parent B's house and sees this lost item. (In thisscenario, both parents are upstanding citizens and aren't kleptomaniacs orsteal for a living.) Parent A asks Parent B about it. Parent B says that ChildB stated Parent A gave it to them. Parent A says this isn't true. Parent Bgives Parent A the item back and says sorry. However, Parent B never makestheir own child say sorry to Parent A. The excuse being their child deniestaking the item and stands firm that Parent A gave them the object. Besides ifthey did take it, they were just a kid. Parent B is embarrassed by thesituation and is letting it slide. Child B is never punished and the situationis passed over. Let's go further, Parent A feels bad for bringing the situationup to Parent B. For they find Child A to be such a nice child. Parent A eventhinks maybe they should've known such a shiny object would be an attraction toa child and they should've put it out of sight. My take: #1, Sure Child Aprobably has many nice qualities, but that doesn't cross off that he or she hadstolen and lied. #2, People should not have to put their finery away which theywould rather display due to "sticky fingers." #3- Child B was not atwo-year-old. They were in grammar school. They knew stealing was wrong. Aswell as lying. If not from their parents then from an outside source like ateacher or their environment. #4- There will always be attractions in life.Children need to learn to control themselves. You can't excuse a child fromstealing candy from a grocery store because it was an attraction. Children need to take responsibility for their actions. Ifnot, the problem will continue in one form or other. So what did Parent B teachtheir child? I'll let you get away with stealing and lying. I won't make youtake responsibility for it. But it's not in the best interest of a child to letthem get away with things. What if as a grown up they say, "Hey, I likeshiny cars. I think I'll take my neighbor's." If they do this and getcaught it's now the court that's going to make them take responsibility fortheir actions. Some parents find it easier to say, "If my child doesXYZ again, next time I'll discipline them." Then the next time comesaround and they use that excuse again. Not looking at a problem, doesn't makeit go away. If your child hits or cusses, or your teen comes home at 4 in themorning, etc. don't let it pass. Have your child take responsibility for whatthey do. Correct unacceptable behavior. If you don't, the undesirable behaviorwill continue. And you don't want it to continue into their adulthood.
