I understand that all kids lie at some point but SS6(stb7) lies about practically everything! When I first noticed SS6 telling little white lies a few months ago, I told DH but he didn't take it seriously, he told me I was worrying about nothing. But as time goes on, more and more lies are coming out of the boy's mouth. This weekend DH finally took his head out of the sand and saw the truth. He told me he's worried that SS6 might become a compulsive liar like BM. The boy has a good heart and I want to help him before it's too late.

I'm currently home on maternity leave for another few weeks-I spend a lot of time with him after school before DH gets home but he lies so much that I no longer want to be alone with him! When I catch him in a lie, I usually tell him "you probably don't want to get into trouble that's why you didn't tell the truth but lying will only make things worse" But sometimes he lies I think just for the sake of it! Yesterday after catching him in a lie for the 10th time, DH told him that he no longer believes anything he says because he lies so much.

Please if you've been through a similar phase(I hope it's a phase) with your skids or kids, share your experience and suggestions. Thanks.
