out of control five year old. she seems not to know fanasty from truth
My five year old tells some real whopper of lies. People she tells these to beleive her. Everybody tells me that they can get my children to do what ever they want them to do. They will not mind me or my wife. I am thinking of giveing her to the state. This has started since she was two and it has started to get worse as she goes to school.
Oh my goodness. First, five year olds have vivid imaginations and many --- MANY tell tall tales!! AND, it is age appropriate to lie when in trouble for that age. Sure you discourage it, but most kids that age will tell fibs. AND if they are in fear of the parents (as in feel unsafe that they would 'give them to the state') they may REALLY be tempted to tell tales. This little girl could be in distress due to instability.
KEY PHRASE (your words)--- everyone else can get her to do whatever they want her to do but . . . n ot you and your wife. Ugh. That is about you and your wife and not her.
I read instability here as NEVER in my life have I heard of someone threatening to give a 5 year old to the state because they told a lie or lived a fantasy life.
If your child is not listening to you or your partner, can I suggest that maybe the problem is in your style and that you both take a parenting class. Perhaps you consult a professional. You look for help.
this is a five year old child we are talking about. A five year old has just gotten out of toddlerhood.
My son has a friend who is a bit immature and in second grade. He tells lies all the time but not maliciously. He wants to feel important or finds it difficult to express himself so he makes something up. He is just a bit younger than the other kids in his class and trying to fit in. Better to help that child have self esteem so he doesn't have to make things up than to see him as a horrible kid because he has fibbed.
Do you have issues that prevent you from dealing with difficult situations? Is there any way you can get help?
