[quote=Anonymous]Approach 1: If the punishment for playing Wii during the week would be 1 week with no Wii, I'd take it away for 2 or 3x that. And explain that telling the truth would have had a consequence, but lying about it has an even worse consequence. And that you now find it harder to trust him, which is a major loss. Approach 2: Explain that he has damaged the trust between you and it needs to be rebuilt. Ask him what he thinks he might do to restore your trust in him. Think about the things you did trust him on (phone calls, playing at the park with friends, doing his homework in a timely fashion, whatever), and take away some of those privileges until he shows that he can be trusted, at which time he gets the Wii back.[/quote]
