[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what do you do for the preteen who does habitually lie. And not only lies, but steals from his parents or siblings? He always gets caught and under pressure admits to everything.

What kind of treatment is there for poor character!?[/quote]

Not poor character OP- poor impulse control. Mine occasionally lies but like your DS, he's terrible at it. Think about it this way, either your DS is using lies and stealing as a way to meet his needs (more autonomy?), is trying to stay out of trouble, or does not see the big picture. I'm guessing all of the above. I would start with a heart to heart about the dishonesty, talk about what he is hoping to achieve or address by lying and stealing, come up with alternative solutions. Also, I let my son that I will only provide necessary discipline if he comes forward-- he can triple it if he's caught being dishonest. It makes it easier for my son to admit wrongdoing if I make honesty meaningful at any point in the process. [/quote]
