Did you see that interesting thingie in the NY times a few days ago about guilt, shame and restitution? Basically, kids do okay with a smattering of guilt, especially if they are impulsive because it slows that down, but moreso if they are taught the concept of restitution, that is, guilt means you have to fix something rather than guilt is your punishment so you should just suffer.
