I am a father of 14 years old girl. I feel shameless and disherated when I get her complaints from her school that she is stealing her friend's belongings. I once saw her stealing money from my wallet also. When I asked her about the same, she started lying and making vague stories. I think she has now made stealing and lying her habit. Please tell me what should I do?

Looking at the daughter’s perspective is a point most parents miss out, there could be fears or troubles traumatizing the child and due to these problems a child can react unnaturally in a given situation. Talking to the child will help, since that helps relax and spell out the deepest fears and troubles in many people.

Expectation is a great thing and especially the expectation from the family is a huge pressure and many give up under that pressure and hence resort to lying and cheating to make their parents happy.

Lying and getting away with it can be just as thrilling as doing drugs for many people, especially for children. Hence this can be classified as a compulsive obsessive disorder and can be taken care of by occupying the child with various other activities with an eye kept on them.

The fact that was mentioned about you being ashamed of your daughter is not acceptable, because at the end of the day the community will give you many stories but it if your duty as parents to talk to the child about her problems and future repercussions.

If the problems mentioned are not attended to soon, they can become a habit and cause future problems. If by any chance, you as parents cannot control the situation, please take help from professionals who are good with child psychology and behavior.
