just had a weird parenting milestone, the 5-year-old "committed his first crime" - nicked a box of tic tacs at the supermarket ๐ฑ hard to hide such noise so it was discovered at home quickly and my knee jerk response was to yell, drag him back to return the item and apologize, but he was scared and crying so the very kind manager ended up saying it "wasn't a big deal" pretty sure this is a rite of passage for many kids, i won't pretend to have been so virtuous myself! but still feeling disappointed that my son, who's been told to reflect and sent to bed, didn't actually say sorry in the end...

There will be an opportunity to have this be a lesson, and you didn't do the old school method of shame and guilt.. It will be fine... Parents are always their own harshest critics..
