[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 568993"] That's what bothered many of us, including gf1's teachers. He could be such a "good little guy" and then turn into the Tazmanian devil. When he was younger, it was seen as typical self-centeredness at that age combined with "no parental discipline" (even my mother accused me of that). As he got older, the misbehavior was seen as willful and intentional defiance and disobedience because he "CAN be such a good kid as we've seen on most occasions". Now that I know his "thinking errors" and am doing more teaching rather than just disciplining, our house is MUCH calmer and quieter ..... at least where HE is concerned. As for the dishonesty, it is an internal drive for what they WANT (and probably can't have). This one was a tough one for us to overcome and we're still not 100% ..... but it is better than it was.
