OMG Your daughter sounds like my 9yr old son. He is the exact same and has done all the same things and nothing we do works with him either. His about to start his 3 rd lot of councilling soon to try to work out why he does the stuff he does. Good Luck I know how hard it is. PM if you wanna chat.

Kids muck up at times and parents help them out. it is normal. If your unsure of how to deal with it maybe you need councelling so that you can have some support. Youll help her. She is still very young.

kids lie for all sort of reasons, maybe if you talk with her about why she is doing this?

I used to forge my mums signature for school...looking back it's funny as it was to get out of pe in high school or when i forgot to get mum to sign off that i read a particular book in primary school. It's normal for kids to be sneaky and do silly things like that sometimes, i guess the thing you have to be careful of is how far they take these things. I agree with meme, you need to sit down and have a chat with her but don't come down too hard so that she doesn't open up to you. It could just be a stage :) good luck with it all.

Hmm...maybe approach her teacher at school and ask if he or she has noticed any of this 'being picked on' business. Sounds like she's doing the things she is to express her frustration...i personally would look into it deeper :yes:. Being picked on is not fun at all. Maybe also re assure her that she can come to you for help and someone to talk to and that you love her very much and she doesn't need to lie or do sneaky things in order to get attention or 'fit in'. Good luck...i hope things can get sorted out soon.
