  Case: Stealing in Kindergarten
I have a student who steals. She went into another students backpack and took her lunch money. It is appropriate to tell the student that if she steals when she grows up that she will go to jail?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
For that age group, I would start by creating classroom rules of respecting the properities of each other. Then I will ask them to help come up with the consequences of breaking those rules.
Repeat offenders will receive the consequences as per the rules without trying to embarrass them in front of the class.
