My 9 year old daughter is telling fibs about everything, ie homework, (she is bright and gets lots of merit certs at school so no problems there) she fantasises to everybody about what she has and where she is going, but most worrying is her obsession with money, I have given her some responsibility with pocket money and managing it fornightly, but yesterday she pretended that her friend had stolen her money, for her sports club and asked me to lend her some more, I then found the missing two pounds hidden in a drawer, I scoured the parenting books but none of them deal with lying or stealing, I would really like to know what to do. I think she needs to make some sort of connection with herself or her feelings are there courses for meditation or hypnotherapists for children I would rather sort it now than when she is a teenager and self esteem is even more fragile. Any suggestions.
