Sorry to hear it
Quote From: courtney87SO HOW DO YOU HELP A 15YR OLD WHO LIES? MY SON WILL LIE ABOUT ANYTHING! HOW DO YOU HELP SOMEONE HIS AGE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT LYING DOES TO HIMSELF AND TO EVERYONE AROUND HIM. I HAVE TOLD HIM..OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HIS BEHAVIOR DOESNT JUST EFFECT HIM IT EFFECTS OUR WHOLE FAMILY. HIS SISTER..FATHER..MYSELF..IT DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER. HES A GREAT KID AND GOOD PERSON. HE JUST CANT STOP LYING. HELP! Courtney,
I'm sorry to hear of this problem - we are still facing the same and our son is a little older than your's. We have tried consequences, rewards, it sticks a little while and then he's off and running with the next lie. I don't trust things he tells us and it has damaged our relationship. He does not seem to see why this is important, and it seems your son is the same way. We have been working on showing that as you do things that are responsible and trustworthy, you then earn additional privileges, but this doesn't always work.
Good luck.
