How do yall deal with a child who thinks it's ok to lie when you know its them doing it like for instance my daughter who's 5 had a sharpie and for some weird reason started to mark all over the cabinets in the kitchen including the walls so Nana asked her did you mark on the wall with the sharpie on how many times she kept saying I didnt do it and then tried to blame it on her 1 year old sister who at all times was in the room with me finally confessed to yea she did do it well nana should have busted her butt right then and there but didnt and now I see sharpie on the bed sheets so I asked her so now I think shes lieing again. Why do kids think it's ok to lie when they know that they will get into trouble.
I know that story but not by heart so I'm gonna have to go read that and then tell her the story.
We did that to her the whole thabk you for telling the truth but now I'm gonna add in there while telling her that she cant not use the sharpies and so on.
My 3 year old has started to lie abd i know she did it abd i told her if you lie and i find out you get in more trouble and i am going to be very mad she doesn't like me to get mad and doesn't like to get in trouble. I tell her if she tells me I won't be mad but she's going to have to clean it up and she knows better and make her clean up what she has done so far this has helped a little bit or she tried to blame it on someone else and I tell her I don't care who did it i am telling you to do it and this is what happends when someone is bad. Other then that i dont know what to do.
We remind them why lying isn’t good, talk about the boy who cried wolf and move on.
