Why would a 9 year old tell stories?

why would a 9 year old tell stories? He knows between right and wrong. He knows he is not telling the truth but continues to make up stories about where he has been, what he is going to do. It is beginning to be obvious to others. What should I do?

He might be trying his limits to see how far he can go. If this is your child, you might want to think about disciplining him with something that he would consider serious. He needs to learn that telling stories and lying comes wih serious consequences.

Hi redmarmie. Caxie is right. (thumb up)! You can't wait too long on this either. He's only 9 now, still reachable. Imagine if you wait.. it could be too late.
