[quote=Anonymous]When my kid lied, the appropriate consequence was a loss of trust. I monitored behavior a lot more closely than DC was used to and the kid learned very quickly that having mom all up in your business is no fun. It never happened again. In the case of lying about screen time, I would be 100% in charge if it moving forward. DC would have to check the device in and out from me for use, assuming I approved of screen time in the first place (there would absolutely be a screen free period to start with). When time was up I would absolutely just take the device back if it wasn't given freely. If DC complied without (or at least with minimal) complaining, eventually I'd loosen things up as a test to see if I could trust behavior but the minute I was lied to again things would be locked back down. Rinse and repeat until the kid learns (which my kids always did, so unfortunately I can't help with what to do if they don't get there).[/quote]
