UNIQUE TALKS ANSWER
To handle a pupil/child that is stealing require patience, sacrifice, understanding, research, tactics and prayers.
Why? This is because alot of things might be responsible ranging from:
- Parent's character/behaviour: some of our parents do engage in petty stealing and thought the Children aren't watching. They learn from all you do. From that the parent must sacrifice to stop such attitude before it's too late. If not no amount of prayer can change it.
- Be very patience when handling the child while beating is on, don't be agressive and stop saying "wa fe ku leni" meaning you will die today and never you transfer aggression because many of us have passed through those stages and ours might be worst then but our parent managed the situation with a lot of discretions.
-Research: work along with the matured and an understanding teacher that would not stigmatise the child in the class or school environment but ready to fish out the type of peer group/what could influenced such attitude of the child in the school settings.
- The parent must be tactical in making sure the child has stop after series of warning and promising that "I won't do that again".
Leave money around the house or in your purse/wallet and open to see if the money would get missing or not. Check his or her bag frequently without him/her noticing but when you have fact, check in his presence.
- Understanding: Many parents do not care to know the type of child they have. We need to create time out of no time to chat with the children, through that you learn from them, know them and they know you better. Parent should stop complaining no time, for who? Your precious gift.
- Prayer can do wonders for many that take to precautions and corrections.
It must be done alongside the aforementioned in other to speed for a positive result.
Anyone is free to add more better ideas. Thanks and God bless.
