A couple of years ago, I caught my son (then 5 years old) stealing from me. My husband and I talked to him about it and we thought the matter was resolved, but we recently found out that he has been stealing from one of his playmates. How should we address this?

Just sharing. when I was a grade school student. I used to get money from my mom's wallet i think once and I get caught immediately. I also steal money from my classmates bag. I also steal a drawing book from a book store because I will give it as a present to my classmate. Back then, i wanted to buy food fo myself but i don't have any money. I wanted to buy some stuffs too. Maybe it's one of the reason. Give a little freedom to our little ones. Lets try to let them experience buy some little things for themselves such as buscuits. Let's not deprive them
