just had a weird parenting milestone, the 5-year-old "committed his first crime" - nicked a box of tic tacs at the supermarket 😱 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...

I’m still explaining to adult friends that they shouldn’t steal glasses in bars… 😬 Maybe trying to talk to him again about what it means to take something that isn’t yours in a calmer context might help. A 5-year-old is still very young. He might need some more explanations. I remember my parents making me go back to places when I got more change than I was supposed to. They explained that if I didn’t give it back, the cashier would have to pay for it herself. And I was really worried that the person would have to pay. 😬
