Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291544 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:49:39 +0000 looch 291544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I know all about that! I used to lie about things I knew to "play" or get more attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291542 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:45:45 +0000 Andrea 291542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Re: weird stuff. DD knew her colors but used to say it was another color when I asked her. I didn't think of it as lying at the time but maybe it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291530 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:22:59 +0000 looch 291530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to lie, too, A LOT, so I totally get where your DD is coming from. Sometimes, I'd just make up stories, I didn't think it was lying. My mom said I'd also lie about weird stuff, like where I was born and what my name was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291528 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:20:16 +0000 Andrea 291528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: her lie this week was making up stuff up. DH takes her to daycare but I guess she decided that she wanted me instead. So when I was out of the room, she told him that mommy was taking her and for him to stay in the bedroom. Then she shut the door, thinking that would prevent him from taking her. Haha. So she came up with a little plan to enable her lie. </p> <p>She does lie about taking naps at daycare to avoid getting into "trouble". She doesn't get into trouble but she knows that we want her to nap so she will lie to please us. She has a back story around napping, too, to make it more convincing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291358 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:14:25 +0000 Andrea 291358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: happy 2.5 birthday! DD used to lie about poops, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291352 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:12:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 291352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mavrick isn't talking much, so apart saying he doesn't have to pee (when clearly he does) he doesn't lie. (yet) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291350 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:12:42 +0000 MamaMoose 291350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO yet but I'm interest to know... Does she lie like she's just making up elaborate stories.. Or does she lie to avoid getting in trouble? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291345 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:08:48 +0000 Mrs.B 291345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: DS is 4 and still hasn't started lying. I'm hoping it stays that way for awhile longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291330 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:58:38 +0000 MamaBehr 291330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep waiting for the lies to start, but luckily she hasn't yet. She will be two and a half EXACTLY tomorrow :) What she sometimes fibs a little about is poop. She doesn't always like to tell me when she has pooped or is pooping (we aren't potty trained yet) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-toddler-started-to-lie-yet#post-291319 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:52:15 +0000 Andrea 291319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's lies are becoming increasingly elaborate and she is not even 2.5 yet. I'm surprised! I'll have to reread that chapter in NurtureShock about dealing with lies. When did your toddler start to lie? </p>
