Maybe if she gets no tv time for a while she can deal with a treat of TV every now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-deal-with-toddler-lying#post-2267183 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:49:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2267183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is just a phase that kids go through. My daughter tries to pull stuff like this too, but I just put my foot down. If she throws a tantrum, she can go sit in the corner until she's ready to listen. Eventually she figures out that I'm not going to budge on it. ... so much fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-deal-with-toddler-lying#post-2267129 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:17:24 +0000 Mrs Panda 2267129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Great idea! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-deal-with-toddler-lying#post-2267108 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:52:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2267108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome! No tots yet, but could you beat her at her own game? Say you chat with the teacher before you pick her up and ask what the show was about that day. Then when you have your LO in the car you can ask her to fill you in on all of the show not just the high points the teacher gave you. Then, when you get home and she askes for TV you can remind her she's watched it because x,y,z happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-deal-with-toddler-lying#post-2267101 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:39:30 +0000 Mrs Panda 2267101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I'm new here! I regularly read the blogs and posts, but have just registered myself. I have a 4-yr old and a 1.5-yr old, both girls. </p> <p>Anyway, my question for this post is, how have you dealt with a toddler (4 yr old) lying? Our situation is that she gets to watch about half an hour of TV at the end of each day at preschool. I'm the past, I have picked her up early and know she missed the TV time, so I have let her watch a bit at home. Now, every day when I get her she says she has not watched tv at school so that she can wrangle some more<br /> TV time at home - even when I know with absolute certainty that she has. Flat out telling her I don't believe her, pretending that I do believe her but saying sorry, but still no TV at home have resulted in huge tantrums. There are other fibbing situations as well, but this is the one we deal with every day. Thoughts? </p>
