[QUOTE="Jungleland, post: 161419, member: 4598"] therapist's suggestion: Even though this was a pretty elaborate lie, deal with it as with any other lie. Let her know how the situation disappointed us, as we really want to trust what she says is the truth. Consequence is: We will have to be checking on her "stories" for a while to make sure she doesn't need help sticking with the truth. At first I was frustrated with therapist's advice, but the more I think on it, I think this is the right course. The more we make a big deal about it, the more attention she gets, negative or not, it is attention. So, just state the facts, we will be checking up on things she tells us until she can prove that everything she says is the truth. I feel much better after talking with therapist. I really didn't want to have to punish her for this, as it just didn't feel right. Boy, these kiddo's keep us on our toes, don't they?? Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
