I am really at my wits end, my son has been constantly lying for a while now. I don't know if I am being pathetic and whether I should let it go.
The lying is not about major things, its more about the silly things like when I say something to him he will say "Oh I was going to say that" or when he is doing his learning, he will spell a word wrong, I correct him and he will say "yeah I spelt it wrong on purpose, I know thats how you spell it". I know my son was lying as its the first time he has tried to spell the word and he has spelt it like its pronounced.
Do I let it go as its minor or do I stamp it out now, and if so what on earth do I do. I have tried sitting on the stairs, he happily sits there for 15 mins at a time and then carries on lying 10 mins later, I have took his telly out, and have taken away his toys nothing seems to work. I am at my wits end and need advice.
