My son has taken up lying. From anything concerning questions about eating foods at school, to stealing candy from the candy jar in the kitchen. back in October he stole his sisters halloween candy, and hid it behind the toilet in the bathroom. When I questioned him about it, he stated he wanted to count it. Totaly did not make any sense. Another example was his lunch account at school. Everyday his account kept going further and further into the negative, and yet he swore up and down he was not eating anything or buying anything at school. Eventually he admitted to it, but gave no explanation why he lied. Its getting to be a daily thing now and is really starting to irritate me. I think it could be an emotional response, as I feel that he may thrive on negative attention, and I do not want to reward his need with a negative response. Currently going through a divorce, and my kids all live with me, as the judge feels that I am the better example for my kids to follow, yet my son can't seem to get it through his head that lying is wrong. Where can I go from here?? Tried revoking privelages, taking favorite toys away etc.. But nothing seems to work. Whats next to do here plz???
Thanks
