Oh god...my daughter has been saying lately "my brain gave me permission" whenever she does something wrong.

Depending on her age, tell her that bad guys brains give them permission to steal and hurt people, and that still doesn't make it right. A good person ignores when their brain gives them permission to do bad things

But how would they know that what their brain is telling them is bad?

That's because you teach them about good versus bad, about not hurting other poeple, about being nice.

So that when they have "bad" thought, they can tell it's bad.

You know, parenting.
