[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you do a lot of interrogating. Expect lying in that situation. Four is way too old to be asked Did you use the bathroom all day long. You are not going to get a reliable answer, OP. If there's a spilled drink next to the kid, concentrate on getting buy-in on clean up. Don't create issues about honesty or confrontation. [b]You sound very, very angry and that's not an effective way to parent. Deal with the issue -- send him to the bathroom; give him paper towels to clean up. Praise him when he comes to you with issues (honesty and openness).[/b][/quote] This is what I picked up on as well, because I had an interrogating mother. She also screamed a lot and used physical discipline. OP, if you're asking why a 4 year old lies, then you need to learn more about children and how to parent. Lying at this age is not a moral failing. [/quote]
