[quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm thinking your DS has a self-esteem issue. People, including kids, usually lie because they feel inadequate in some way. Maybe he is stealing to make himself feel better, surrounding himself with things, or he likes the idea of getting away with something. Also, you say your DS is well liked by teachers and other kids. Maybe your DS is making himself likeable to everyone because again, he has low self-esteem. Both my kids (6 and 9) lie, too. Usually, it's because they don't want to get into trouble about something. That, I think is normal. But if your ds is compulsively lying about something that is not about avoiding trouble, then this to me doesn't seem normal. I'm not a child psychologist, but my first thought is self-esteem issue.[/quote]
