My son has a bit of a problem with Match Attax cards. At least I think that's what it is - am trying to avoid the suspicion that it might be a bigger problem with honesty full stop. We keep catching him out when telling what I could describe as "whoppers" around the cards.
He as bought a box of 100 packs recently as part of a reward scheme - they were put aside until he earned them. What ensued was that he basically stole the cards and opened them all (secreted away at the top of the house ) and when confronted denied that he had. Know it sounds dramatic, but it is almost like he is a junkie for the cards - he will do and say anything to feed his habit.
Worse still - once banged to rights and punished and all the promises not to reoffend had been agreed.... he did exactly the same thing again within 24 hours.
Am I being paranoid - is this normal for a 7 year old - I just don't like the way he looks me straight in the eye and swears black is white. My older son sometimes tries to bend the truth, but one of my looks and he will fold - not so the younger one.
He is either a liar or an addict or a normal 7 year old - which.
Help - don't want to think the worst.
