We spanked a few times, but it didn't seem to work. So then we just started taking away privileges, while at the same time telling her stories about why stealing and lying is bad.<br /><br />In a couple of instances, she was going into my son's room to steal his candy. First thing, we got down her Halloween basket and let her brother choose three pieces out of it. She wasn't very happy about that. The second time she stole candy out of his room, we took her Halloween basket and dumped the entire thing into her brother's basket. That was very traumatic for her, and stopped her taking anything out of his room again.<br /><br />We've been making headway on the lying by telling her over and over that she will be punished MORE for telling a lie than for whatever she was lying about. It took a couple of months, but she slowly grew out of it. Now she seems to take great pride in telling the truth.<br /><br />I hope some of that helps. Just keep showing your son the consequences of stealing and lying.Idaho Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466078882752412292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188173125950188935.post-44701404743211254082007-01-27T13:59:00.000-05:002007-01-27T13:59:00.000-05:00I found your blog a few days ago via a comment you...I found your blog a few days ago via a comment you left at Laurelwreath. My daughter was diagnosed with ADD in 3rd grade, she is now in 7th. I know what you are going through. I frequently feel like a failure when it comes to parenting. Two wonderful resources I would recommend are http://www.additudemag.com/ and the book, Driven to Distraction. There are no easy answers or quick fixes. Educating yourself is the best thing you can do. As difficult as it is to have a child with ADD there are also many blessings that come with it. You will be in my prayers.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423569847181146904noreply@blogger.com
