Jail? Stealing? oh the 10 Commandments!


So Dennis started taking things.. putting things in his pocket that did not belong to him.. great huh? Clepto at 3.. SO we had to have a talk with him.. Explained that you can't take things that do not belong to you.. how would you like it if someone took your things ect...
Well that worked for a day... THEN his teacher pulls the Mister aside...
Says that he was putting things in his pocket multiple times today... WONDERFUL...
SO We have another talk with him- tell him he will lose his Ninja turtle costume and sword.. (he even likes to sleep in it sometimes) well that sorta worked but I had to lay it on him.. bring out the big guns... yep..GOD/ Jesus...
I grabbed the bible and opened to the 10 commandments and we read them... (course the adultery one was hard to explain to a 3 yr old)
SO he comes up with a plan... every commandment he follows every day he gets a penny lol... 10 pennies a day...
He gets off easy due to the fact he can't go committing adultery...
SO we are actually learning them.. I thought hey this works!
He can repeat many of them to me now... AND I can say "that's not honoring your mother and father... you're going to lose a penny..." yes.. it works...
