Dd1 is 6.
Her behaviour at the minute is awful. Examples include being rude , cheeky , rolling her eyes at everything, deliberately ignoring me when I ask her to do something , hitting her younger sister when she can't get her own way etc . Just disrespectful behaviour.
Over the last week she has started to tell lies - silly little things that she really needn't have lied about .
She knows lying is wrong . The first time she lied this week , she said she had brushed her teeth and made up a tale about how she brushed each tooth herself - when in fact , she had washed the toothpaste down the sink .
I told her not to do it again and that was that .
The second lie was a few days later - she had stuck her fingers in to cake icing I had made and ate some . No problems with that , BUT , she came in looking sheepish and I asked her what she had been up to .
She denied anything and insisted she had done absolutely nothing . I let it go as I knew what she had done and it was just minor . I did explain that I wasn't cross about the icing but it's not ok to lie as you get in more trouble .
This morning , she hit her sister (this is currently a problem , not frequent , but we are working to resolve it).
Dd2 came to tell me that her sister had hit her . I asked dd1 and she flat out denied it . I explained one of them must be lying so who is it ? - she flat out denied it , but it was so obvious from her face she was lying .
I gave her a final chance to come clean and she eventually did . I confiscated her screen time for today for hitting and lying and told her again I was cross and it is wrong to lie .
DH now feels sorry for her and thinks we should allow her screen time tonight .
I disagree and think we should follow through .
I have planned some craft type stuff to do instead which I think will give her some positive one on one time , whilst also following through with the consequence .
