[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 400006, member: 3419"] Marg, that's the part I don't get. My son only lives for the moment. I don't think he's weighing anything except that he wants something and then later, has to lie about it. [I]Now, about lying - ALL KIDS LIE. At some stage. Or they try to. But kids whose social skills are not so automatic, get caught out in a lie far more easily. Over time, getting caught in a lie, especially if it happens almost every time, builds in a conditioned response to not lie. Similarly if lying makes a child feel "icky" because they either fear getting caught, or the internal conflict of truth/non-truth upsets their thinking, they will learn to not lie. To avoid lies. A Pavlovian response at its best.[/I] Good points. Maybe we aren't making it uncomfortable enough for him. [/QUOTE]
