[QUOTE="DDD, post: 609270, member: 35"] As usual, lol, I have a slightly different position on this. It may not work for J but it did work with the only child I had that got carried away with imagination. I'll toss it in for consideration. I praised imagination and creativity BUT insisted that it be presented for what it was...not presented as truth. My examples of "why" included the little boy who cried wolf, the importance of having others trust your word, as well as other examples. difficult child learned to preface falsehoods with " I dreamed " or "wouldn't it be funny if" or "my imagination had me picture" etc. Of course, I encouraged drawing or writing stories and volunteered to write if difficult child wanted to dictate to me. It ended up being fun and the lesson was learned. DDD [/QUOTE]
