chosen: The best way to punish a child for stealing candy is to focus on the underlying issue of why the child stole in the first place. Positive disciplinary measures should be taken to address the underlying problem, including talking to the child about why stealing is wrong and the possible consequences for their actions, as well as providing better alternatives for getting what they want, such as expressing their desires and working towards those desires honestly. 
  
  Punitive measures, such as taking away privileges or taking a positive action such as donating the stolen candy to a charitable cause, could also be used as a method of consequences. Ultimately, the goal of any discipline is to help the child understand the gravity of their behavior while guiding them towards making better decisions in the future.
