And it's not because we've never dealt with it, that's for sure. Our main weapon is an extreme restriction of priveledges and positive acknowledgement when someone does come and confess something. I've also been becoming more aware of when I am putting a child on the spot and making it easier for them to lie because I am creating a bad situation. And, there was a period of time when one of the cut-apart word sentences the boys were practicing putting together was the Proverbs verse about lying lips being an abomination to God. I'd love to hear what other parents do... I find this one tricky.<br /><br />ethecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-9960140273838310922011-03-03T16:47:22.971-06:002011-03-03T16:47:22.971-06:00Thanks for sharing this.

I have to admit that this is an area I don't do well with, and I know that it would benefit my kids more if I was more consistent with them.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221349654103920087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-56574594075458384632011-03-03T15:46:02.724-06:002011-03-03T15:46:02.724-06:00Oh Annette,

We had two miscarriages in one year, followed by a year with an extremely difficult twin pregnancy that ended with me in heart failure. The twins are now 3 months old and I am really seeing the results of the older children getting away with poor behavior the last two years. You've given me some good encouragement and ideas for reigning them back in.

Having one child perform an act of service for the other after being unpleasant is a great idea. I am always looking for opportunities to teach my children to have servant's hearts. <br /><br />May I ask a specific question, how do you handle lying?Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-45085948064635951642011-03-03T10:26:37.339-06:002011-03-03T10:26:37.339-06:00Very good advice and discipline ideas.
