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!) I have a student in my pre-kindergarten classroom that struggles with stealing too. When he steals, I ask him what he did wrong, and how stealing can hurt others. By asking him questions, he is thinking about what he did wrong. In my opinion, allowing the student to verbally talk about what he/she did wrong is much more beneficial than just telling the student what he/she did wrong.
