I've tried to keep on top of not allowing ai to crawl through my personal data on various services. Google going through my emails is like going through my physical letters, it's extremely intrusive.

It's getting tiresome. I think next year I'll have a go at self hosting my emails. Email is one of the big things I have kept online and the same as everything is linked to it. It's like your digital address.

Most users are just quietly accepting the significant loss of privacy, especially nowadays as a lot of our lives are online. I don't believe there will be any pushback from users, governments need to step in but they are seemingly unwilling to.

Yeah, have a look in decathlon. They have waterproof shoes which look like trainers. I've got myself some, I can go through puddles with them and stay dry.

I did ask her that actually (how would she feel), but it certainly wasn't the focus it was more how would that other person feel. I'll explore the 'i wonder' too, not just for this. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll take a look

Thanks. Do you happen to remember what were the books called? Maybe more moralistic TV is called for! I'd certainly enjoy a rewatch of star trek ha

Thanks. Yeah, I don't want to shout at her really, it isn't something I do. I have tried to talk about the moral aspects and how it makes others feel sad already. You're recommending more of the same, I was worried about limited effectiveness. She certainly didn't feel sorry when she apologised to the shopkeeper, but she was incredibly embarrassed and shy about it, to the point I'm surprised she did so! I've also tried the story thing and so has another trusted adult. Another poster mentioned removing vegetables as something she likes, this could be a direct consequence. As you say, I don't want it to be about 'not getting caught '

Thanks for your insight. I've not thought of removing vegetables, she does eat them no problem & enjoys them. My real worry is that if the behaviour continues into later life, then the consequences are much more severe.

That's a good idea. I think I'll arrange a meeting with the teacher. Thanks

Stealing 7yo (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by Good_Slate@lemmy.world to c/parenting@lemmy.world
 

my daughter has stolen a few things. She's 7 now but it started when she was 6. It was from school a few times - at first it was seen as a mistake and for her to return at item.

She was always told "it's the school's" or "person X will be sad if doesn't have y back".

Recently however she took some chewing gum from a shop. When I saw it I took her back to the shop, we gave it back and she apologised to the shopkeeper.

I told her about how it is not nice, can make people sad, it is illegal etc. she didn't get a dessert that day (our usual day for having one). And I wrote a few questions on a bit of paper (why stealing is bad, what will you do if you feel like doing it again etc.) and asked her to answer them - she wrote the answers down.

Less than a week later she got a pencil off a boy, gave it to her mum and said that she won two pencils. We checked this with the teacher and the teacher said there was a boy who 'lost' a pencil and was upset about it.

So she knows it is wrong, but is continuing to do it. It is difficult to catch her in the act of it. Has anyone dealt with similar behaviour in a child of a similar age? Any recommendations?

I can force myself to shout at her (this would scare her as I don't shout), I can take her to the local police by pre -arrangement , I'm not sure what the best approach to stop this behaviour is. It could have possibly been going on since she was in nursery as we've always accounted for things showing up as normal mistakes not intentional stealing.

Me. But not just me. When my children grow older, they too will now have a Linux OS on their computers not Microsoft. Microsoft has lost more than just me!

I upvoted. But, I'd never describe myself like that. I'm old enough to be wise about some things and a huge dumbass about others. And mature enough to know the difference.

You'll want to check out "Dungeons". I recently played Dungeons 3 and it is basically an improved dungeon keeper except you can go into the overworld too.
