Never Ending!!

[LaChryle]

My Son is 6 yrs old and We moved here to Nebraska from houston in June!  His behavior has been an on going issue.  Somethings like talking outloud in class or not really paying attention are previous issues.  BUt Lately He has been lying all the time.  Any time he thinks it will either help him fit in , or get him out of trouble he lies.  I'm not sure what will help him understand He shouldn't do it.  He has been taught from day one not to lie or steal adn to treat others as you want to be treated.  But he continues to lie!  And now he is "stealing" taking things that don't belong to him or he shouldn't touch! The rule is you do not touch what does not belong to you; we keep our hands to ourselves, and we always tell the truth-no matter what! Every blue moon we have progress but it is negated by a mound of actions later. We have spanked, done time outs, cleared his room- as a consequence, explained why not to, talked to see why he's doing it!  His response to everything is I don't know or because I wanted...   My son is very intelligent but his behavior is becoming a distraction in his class.  His teacher and I talk Every day God thankyou for His teacher!  We have regular meetings.  But his behavior has transpired to the class room just his week he was caught eating candy that he took from her filing cabinet!  and when she sat to talk with him, she mentioned other things that had turned up missing throughout the year and he admitted to have taken them!  At this rate I feel my son is headed down a very troublesome path he is only 6 and I don't know what to do cuz Nothing seems to work!

----Sincerely,
Very Concerned Mother!
