Kids Who Lie, Steal, Sneak Things At Night

Do you have a child who lies, sometimes repeatedly and reflexively? What do you do when your child predictably sneaks food or their iPad or phone late at night? How do you handle a teen or tween who “liberates” your credit card to buy some gaming apps without your knowledge? What would you do if your child stole something, then lied about it? Kirk gives you scripts and specific action steps for tough situations.
