[QUOTE="good vibes, post: 761366, member: 26113"] Here's something to try until things turn, focus your energies on reaffirming positive behaviour rather than punishing negative behaviour. Lying may be a way of getting your attention. Don't react to a lie, don't get angry, try to ignore it and move onto something else. If he cheats during a game, let him know that you've had enough and don't want to play anymore. Don't punish or lecture. Instead, constantly reaffirm good behaviour. If you ask him to do something and he completes the task, heap praise. If he tells the truth, tell him that you are proud of him. Reward consistently strong behaviour by offering a favourite outing. He should perceive the idea that a reward is more positive time with you. Negative behaviour means you'll walk away or ignore him. At this age, he may also still react to 'token economy'. If he does something positive, reward him with points or stars. For younger ages, the tokenism can be enough, but you could also reward him with an outing or trip if he gets enough points. Also, a question for your consideration, when did this start? Was there something that happened - maybe someone left the household, a friend betrayed him, trauma, a pet died? [/QUOTE]
