[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 172108, member: 1498"] DQLucy -- You might be surprised to know that the behavior you describe can be developmentally normal for a four year old. At that age children don't necessarily understand the concept of a lie and will tell one with the idea that saying it makes it so. And they are still at the age where they may not understand that they simply can't take everything they want....or that once they have doesn't mean they get to keep it. Remorse isn't something four year olds can have. At best, they are sorry they got in trouble but often don't understand why what they did got them in trouble. [/QUOTE]
