Why do Children Steal ?

I realized that Prakash’s parents had an excess of discipline and a lack of love. Rather than considering Prakash’s behavior according to his age, they tended to straighten him out with strict measures.

In fact, it is very important to consider the age of the children and the environment around them in problems like lying, stealing, etc.

• It is important to impress upon children that no matter how much we like someone’s item, we cannot take it away.
•  Sometimes young children are quick to grab things to please their inner “self”.

One wants to be like one’s Father, so one wears Father’s watch and plays with it, an old one takes Mother’s gold bangle to play with. At such times children need to understand only with love.

However, why do children steal, there may be the following reasons. —

1. Children sometimes feel very low about themselves. To make up for that lack, Children make a feeble attempt to show that they are somebody, that they have something of value or money.

2. Sometimes succumbing to peer pressure and hoping to fit in, kids try to be smart by stealing or impressing friends by taking them to hotels.

3. Sometimes Children feel neglected by their parents. If there is no Emotional closeness between Children and their parents, Children are encouraged to steal even to get attention; Sometimes, when there is no Love and belonging at the Emotional and Mental level, it is as if the child steals other people’s things to fill that void.

Now we will realize that often the Psychological needs of Children are not met, this can be the root cause of stealing, so making Children very angry, mocking them with words like thieves and robbers, punishing them harshly, all of them are more likely to increase the problem than to solve it.

How should parents handle the problem?

1. Parents should always be aware that while disciplining Children, inculcating them or forming their personality, the Psychological needs of Children such as love, security and stability are not neglected.

2.  Don’t condone Children’s mistakes when they make mistakes, but remember that bad behavior doesn’t make a Child bad.

3. Hate the bad behavior, not the Child.

When a Child has a habit of stealing and feels like their Child is failing, it is imperative to consult a professional counselor.

Homoeopathy has very effective Medicines for this problem.

Of course, it is appropriate to take it with the advice of experts.
