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!)
I do not think it is appropriate to tell the student that if she steals when she grows up that she will go to jail. I would focus on how it makes the other students feel when something is being taken from them. Asking the student if they have a younger sibling that may have taken their favorite animal or toy out of their room and then ask how they feel. Telling a student in kindergartener that they will go to jail is a scare tactic and potentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. If this student is habitual with their stealing then it is time for the counselor, parents, and potentially outside resources to be involved. As a parent of a child in kindergarten, I would be appalled if a teacher told my child they would go to jail based on their actions no matter what the teacher's personal beliefs are. |

| Comments: I agree it is not appropriate to tell a young child that jail will be their consequence. I would also focus on trying to understand this student better. |

| Comments: I completely agree with this. Children can relate to emotions more than the idea of going to jail when they're adults. Having them think about how they and others feel when something is stolen would be great. |
