I have a cousin, nine years old, who is smart and articulate, but she has a particularly bad habit, that is, stealing money and telling lies.

When children steal things, parents should first reflect on whether their children's education is lacking.

I believe that almost all parents will educate their children not to steal, but it is difficult to understand what stealing is with children's imperfect thoughts. Therefore, it is necessary to divide this education into two parts. First: teaching children to judge the ownership of property rights is to let them know what is yours and what is mine. If a child doesn't even know the real right, how can he tell if he is stealing? On the premise that children learn to judge the ownership of property rights, it is possible to achieve the purpose of education by educating children not to steal.

Secondly, we should educate our children to be self-denying, not to covet enjoyment beyond their own economic ability, and not to compare with others. Without unrealistic material desires, there is naturally no motivation to grab other people's property.
