[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 351232, member: 1991"] This sort of crud happens in every kid's life. But when your child is a difficult child it is very easy to blame your child's illness for the problem, when sometimes your difficult child IS being appropriate after all. I remember a kid like this when I was in Kindergarten and Grade 1. This girl would lie to get attention, make up the most atrocious stories which we could see through, and manipulate. And if we said, "That's not true," her mother would give us a hard time. We very quickly learned to listen to this girl but not believe her. We stopped calling her on it, it was more a "yeah, whatever," and we would change the subject rather than engage. I can still remember her name... I never saw her or heard of her after I left the school at the end of Grade 2. Tell Duckie that kids like this are always going to be around and later in life she will also meet them. What she learns now in how to handle them will teach her how to cope when she is an adult (and kids like A won't have their mummies to protect them!). Marg [/QUOTE]
