Stealing In School - Middle & High School Edition

Taking Without Permission (Printable PDF Workbook)

A trauma-informed, shame-free workbook that helps children and tweens understand what's underneath the urge to take something without permission — and practise safer, more permitted responses instead. Built around a notice-pause-choose-repair framework, it moves kids from reaction to reflection without ever pathologising the behavior.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Sectioned learning:

• Understanding the Choice 
• Notice the Early Clues 
• Intent and Impact 
• Urge Interruption 
• Function-Matched Skills 
• Restorative Repair 
• Personal Prevention Plan 
• Practice and Generalization

Interactive pages:

A four-part scenario discussion game, a five-step signal chain tracker, a safe-alternative matching activity, a borrowing plan builder, a pressure-and-dare response plan, and three-setting rehearsal pages (home, school, shop).

Named favourites:

• The Stealing Scenarios Game 
• Stop, Think, Choose 
• Make It Right 
• Mine, Ours, or Not Mine?

Therapist tools:

PERFECT FOR:

Counsellors, school psychologists, teachers, and parents supporting children or tweens around stealing, borrowing without asking, or impulse control. Works equally well for individual sessions, small groups, and take-home practice.
