Caught our generally-lovely 6 yo in a direct lie today. He said that Papa said he could do something, when I checked later because it sounded odd, Papa had not said that at all.
When I asked him he admitted the lie. I said how disappointed I was in him and he has a punishment (no sweets or dessert for a week) but I'm not entirely sure how best to handle it, I'm sure it'll happen again.
How do other people manage this stage? Every kid goes through it I imagine!
