Need a little advice
Hi everyone :)
My 7 year old nephew has been staying at my house for the last few days and will continue to do so until his parents get back from their holiday.
Up until now he's been as good as gold and I rarely notice he's living with me. But Yesterday afternoon after getting home from work I noticed that there were small pieces of china on the kitchen floor. After looking in the bin it would appear that 3 of my best china plates have been smashed. I can only assume it's my nephew as he was the only person in the house during the day.
I know I should discipline the lad but I don't really know how to go about it as I'm not his parent.

Why would a 7 year old child be the only one in the house and how could you possibly 'rarely notice' him? Also, if he smashed the plates and had the sense to tidy them into the bin, then good for him. Talk to him - he may have a very good explanation and accidents do happen. Why do you assume that he needs discipline
