[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 41596, member: 393"] Kjs, The consequence for lying is, unfortunately, a lack of trust in the person who is lying. I'm very upfront with kt & wm - I let them know that I don't believe what they are telling me. Many times, kt backs down & tells me the truth, as she understands it. (There are times when it is a perceptual problem versus outright lying & I try to keep that in mind.) If there is a dispute with a school report, I tell kt I will call the teacher to get the other side of the story; again kt backs down. I've let kt know that teachers just don't have the time to make up stories about the students in their classes. I'm seeing a change in kt - she is coming back to tell me the truth later. Foster mum reported that wm is doing the same. I hate lying - it's so hard to overcome that behavior in our children. [/QUOTE]
