Is she introverted/shy? I was like this when I was a kid, and I lied because I didn't like the attention that came with owning up. I didn't like lying but I didn't want to say I did something wrong and then have to have a whole conversation about it. Especially if asked in front of other people if I did something, I would always lie. My parents didn't handle it very well, so I don't have any suggestions there but could you change your approach or talk with her more about why she doesn't want to get in trouble?
Sepata- nope not shy at all... very confident loud child LOL
Tinks- have sat down and explained til blue in the face why honestly is important. She doesn't make up stories so I guess thats a bonus. Just cant admit the truth about things she has done wrong.
Marydean- we have involved the school counselor and she has also participated in after school programs for kids who are from 'broken homes' as such etc and they have talked about lying but she doesnt care.
My next step is to speak to her teacher, she has a new lady this year who is awesome so maybe she will have some ideas on how to deal with it.
DD8 CONSTANTLY lying...
