[QUOTE="Malika, post: 548721, member: 11227"] I wonder if what V is doing is really "lying"? He is making it very obvious, in fact, what the truth is - is not lying with his gestures and facial expressions. He is frightened of telling the truth. I think you have to make him not frightened, and you can't do this by punishing him. A philosophical divide from other approaches, I realise! I would just be quite gentle with him and keep, keep explaining that if he doesn't tell the truth, you do not know whether or not you can believe him, in fact you don't believe him - the security gate being a case in point. And if you can't believe him, you will accuse him and get angry with him (you need to explain). J also lies sometimes, but he is a lot more convincing and believable when he does so. Which is more worrying. [/QUOTE]
