Hi Corina and Welcome to NC! I'm glad you like it, even with this atypical dreary weather we've been having! You didn't mention if your daughter was lying a lot before the move. I know that lying can become habitual. The more one lies, the less one can discern the truth. So the opposite is true. The more one tells and recognizes the truth, the more obvious lies are. Perhaps you could 'train her in truth telling' when she's not in a position of defense. Use the word "truth or true" to tag statements of truth when you observe certain things. Show an admiration for truth that she doesn't have to assume, but clearly sees and hears. Praise truth when you see it in situations around you. Bring her attention to that virtue in other people, especially when they choose that over self-protection. Children want to please, and you can cue her in to what you really value and will please you.You might show her how lies not only hurt her own conscience and ability to know truth, but can also hurt other people, and also hurt her reputation, making it unreasonable to trust her. Ask her if she wants to be trusted, and what that will 'cost'. You may have to go out of your way to set these training moments up, but keep building on Truth first, until you feel she can recognize it clearly and is sensitive to it. Then, point out what lies look like, what they do to people, what they look like on other people (again, without her being the subject of study). Lastly, find opportunities to demonstrate to her how to tell the truth, even when it might seem easier or more convenient to lie.You might even create "Steps" to think through. Practise this in roleplaying until you're satisfied that she has the tools to think through the situation and choose to tell the truth. Misdeeds do have consequences. She needs to know how to handle the consequences with resolve and grace, keeping the truth and her self-respect intact. Try to separate the consequences from your disappointment. For instance, if she spills something, don't express disappointment, but let her clean it up. Even she's reckless, you can correct her and hold her responsible without being disappointed. Save the disappointment for character failures. Finally, test her when you know the truth yourself. Help her to be calm, and before she can utter a lie, help her to think through what she's learned in the 'training sessions'. If she passes the test, praise her for telling the truth. The final test will be when she can tell the truth even if it means she'll have to bear consequences for a misdeed. Give her lots of praises for telling the truth then. Help her bear the consequences with resolve and dignity. If at any point she doesn't pass the test, go back and train more. The reward will be far greater than the effort in the long run, for both of you!
