My son was 8 when I got a call from a mom. She was checking up on a story her son told her, and shared with me that they were having troubles with honesty and theft in their home. When my son found out his friend tried to implicate him, he distanced himself.

Now the boys are 16, and I ran into the mom recently. This same young man has been in two juvenile detention centers already, and they very unsure of his future.

Nothing beats being actively involved - and Blue eyes..regardless of the outcome, you were honest with the parents. What they chose to do with that information is up to them. And your child saw good examples of meeting confrontation head on with a calm approach.

Children learn more from what we do than what we tell them to do.

Best of Luck,
Susan
