I am a new member and my first time posting. I am not even sure if there has been a previous posting to this question. If I am doing something wrong someone let the newbie know please:)
My issue is my 11 year old's compulsive lying. He lies about everything. He has lied about throwing his lunches away at school, to showering without soap and shampoo, brushing his teeth to hiding his homework. You name it he lies and he always gets caught. We have explained to him consequences of lying, we have taken away privaleges over and over. When he gets grounded we dont give mixed messages and stick to what we say. I would like some advice from others on this issue about how to get him to stop lying and realize how serious this is because no one believes anything he says anymore even when he is telling the truth. Frusted in canada!!:)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Hope this helps.
I too deal with this problem, and honestly have not found an answer that works. It seems to come in waves....and some of the things my son tells me I swear he thinks are true!
So, I have tried to stick to the rule of..if it is serious I'm a dog with a bone...if it isn't ...I let him know, that I know the truth and shut it down.
Might not be great advice but it gets us by...frustrated in Canada too!!! ( and wet..lol)
