So I have a 3yo dcb that I watch do certain things and when I tell him to stop he says "I didn't do that" or "I'm not". I physically see him doing these things and he knows it.
I would think this is fairly normal for this age because they are just starting to learn about lying, fibbing, etc.
What do you do when your kids do this? I keep telling him to stop lying but even in my own head "lying" seems like a harsh word in this context. I'm a fairly strict provider as I don't let them get away with a lot but it's very hard getting through to this child. He is defiant in a way that he thinks he's cute and not mean.
I thought about getting some books from the library on lying, making things up, etc.
