We are really open to all suggestions on how to effectively discipline our 10.5 year old.
The main issue is honesty.
He seems to lie to us often... we almost always discover the truth and have tried various methods for change... still he chooses to lie.
Then there has also been theft.
He has stolen toys from a friend, a jacket from a neighbor, and a few other things.
We have talked about our need for honesty with him.
He has lost priveleges as consequences to his actions (movie night, trip in town, day at friends, etc)
We have given him extra chores as a consequence for actions.
We are still dealing with the issues and just dont know how to help him make better choices.
Thanks!
