[quote=Anonymous]It also sounds (and one PP alluded to this) like the girl may be afraid of her parents' reaction to "misbehavior." Sounds like a broken connection in some way-- it may not be that her parents (mom? dad? both?) harshly punish. It may be that the kid herself has an overdeveloped superego or whatever and is overly afraid of parental disapproval (I was like this). But I feel like there is more to it than simple "manipulation," as if the behavior were mildly sociopathic. There's a reason this kid is probably lying when other kids aren't, and it may not be that her parents see her as a precious snowflake and she is a conniving little sh!t, but more that she is hyper-concerned/anxious. Anyway. Something to consider.[/quote]
