How do you handle a 12 year old that constantly lies My husband and I are really struggling trying to figure out the best method/route to go with our 12 year old son. For example, the other day he was at the house with a couple of friends and they were playing basketball. Well the ball hits her garage, and she comes outside and takes the ball back into the house and told our son that either me or my husband would need to come get the ball. Now our good friend is watching my son and his friend while my husband and I are at work. When our friend asks him what happens, he says they were just sitting on the steps just watching one of his friends shoot ball and it was the friend who happened to hit her garage with the <a href="http://wholesalenfljerseysauthenticshop.com">Nfl jerseys wholesale</a> basketball. Well come to find out he was actually playing around in her yard, and when the ball hit her garage, they all JUST TAKE OFF RUNNING. So when our neighbor looks around to ask my son what happened he is halfway up the street acting like he had just committed a crime. Well long story short, he never told us about him running away from her, and the fact he was all in her yard instead of "sitting on the steps." He constantly "lies" about getting in trouble at school, and I just don't know what to do at this point. I try to talk to him and let him know that trust between us and him is so important, and that if he wants to begin to be more "independent" he has to show us that we can trust him. So how do I handle this? Is it just a phase or what? Besides just talking to him about the problem, are there any other ways to handle his lying and correct it? i really like and agree w gatorgrrrls sugguestions too. w dd (5yrs old) this is where we are w <a href="http://www.savemalls.com">Authentic nfl jerseys</a> her bc she also sometimes needs a pause o remind her to tell the truth. she seems to do it from time to time to avoid my disappointment. im certainly not strict by most standards but i focus a lot on how things make ppl feel and i will let her know when im disapointed and i have been trying to help her see that im so much more disappointed if she lies. i show a lot of approval for owning up. ive been trying to get dh to stop being so confrontational w her bc sometimes his tone makes lying seem like the only <a href="http://www.sportsauthenticjerseyshop.com">Cheap authentic nhl jerseys</a> viable option to her. so im working on geting him to not make her feel backed in a corner. he doesnt do anything its just his tone when hes confronting her about something that makes dd defensive bc shes really sensitive. |
