My 8 year old daughter lies all the time about everything, even stupid little things. We catch her all the time. What should we do? We tell her we know she's lying, and sometimes she will give in and sometimes she will just keep going even if we tell her we know that she is lying. I think that it might be her friends that she has been playing with for the past 2 months. Im not sure, either way she is a big girl and she knows better than to lie. What da I do? If you have any ideas please let me know???
And keep her away from others until you get her thinking your way again. The kids in school can brainwash your child to believe one way is okay (a bad way), then IMHO, I would keep my child to brainwash them back to the right side again. I may very well be doing this with my own son this year. Just for that same reason. He's an A student, but thinks it okay to lie, cheat, steal, talk out of turn, not use manners, the list goes on and on.
It all depends on what you want your child to be like. You can't rely on others to make your child become any certain way. Especially at school.
