 | Sweetest child you could meet. Polite, always uses manors. Very well rounded, very active in sports, school and home activities. Loves to be center of attention and usually is. What I am looking for help in may surprise you. She lies. She lies when she does not need to lie. She lie's when of course, a pre teen would lie, and she story tells (lies) to gain friends and "popularity" status, because having friends is that big of a deal to her. She is very small and underweight. She is in the 7th grade, but had you not known that, she would appear to be a 5th grader, Until she talks, that is where the age is shown. There is nothing wrong, medically or physically with her, God made her small. She is very cute and girls being girls, like to pick on her, and when they have had their fun doing that, they pick on her mother. She has learned how to avoid all of that, in fact, she has learned to rise above it all .... with this new technique called lieing/story telling. I love her, as any mother can imagine and want to help her, but do not know how. She is even lieing at home now. Even when there is no cause to lie. It is starting to go in a direction that if I do not help her, to help herself, what results from this behavior can only be "not good!"
Anyone with any suggestions, or help ... please feel free to respond. |
