does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with a 5yrold lying about almost everything,,,
last night it was i need a drink, ok give me your cup,, no cause theres water in there,,, I banged my chin,,, child in same room says no you didnt you were playing with me 5yrold goes of sulking,,, theres no paper in draw i look and yes there is only kidding she says, my throat hurts well by this time I gave up beliving her and just said oh ok she then starts demanding medicene that mum apparently put in her bag, nothing in the bag,, then proceeds to tell me mum took me to the docs about my throat this morning, also not true.
and all that was just lastnight
she lies for attention, she lies to get her own way, she lies to get the others in to trouble,, ie if you dont give me that toy I will tell that you snatched it from me,, infact she lies so much I just dont belive her anymore about anything
I told dad last night it needs to be delt with becuasue not only do I not belive anything she says but she is now upsetting the others with her lies, dad did understand and he would have a word,
the attention seeking i can deal with like as soon as i take a little one to the loo she suddenly needs the loo or when i am feeding baby she suddenly needs me or wants somthing even though she was fine to begin with.
last night i had 5 children 4 of them were almost ignored because of this other childs lies and tactics that i had to deal with,
but are there any ways of dealing with this? has anyone else had this problem and managed to stop it? if so please give me some ideas
