My daughter has starting lying about EVERYTHING!! I mean bad things, like blaming her sister and brother on things that I know she did, and even things that don't matter if she did or said. I try to tell her to tell me the truth and not to lie about things. I tell her she won't get into trouble if she tells me the truth but she continues to do it and I call her out on it every time! It's so frustrating because I want her to know that she can tell me these things and not lie! This is just a stage right? If not, what should I be doing about it?

I pray its just a phase because it's ridiculous! I thought it was just my daughter. She blames everyone for things I KNOW she did. It's driving me crazy. She is my youngest, but I didn't go through this with my other children.

Get a "lying toothbrush"--after a couple times of my daughter getting her mouth washed out with soap, the lying stopped. Our "lying toothbrush" still sits in the holder with the rest of the toothbrushes as a reminder that if she lies, we will wash the lies out with soap.

My daughter is lying too. I had a conversation with her also about it and for a short time she stopped but now she is right back at it. I hope it is a stage as well because i want her to tell me everything with no problems. Please let me know how you end up handling and I will do the same.
