I find that interesting that she has started this so young. Maybe Im naive but I didnt think kids started this stuff until around 4th grade...well at least mine didnt. I suggest daily talks with her teacher be it in person or by email. That way she doesnt have the option of you believing one of her lies. I do have to say that because she is 7 its a very big deal! If she learns this now its only gonna get worse as she gets older and the work gets harder.  |

I agree that with DMK that daily talks with the teachers helps. Maybe, you may also need to set aside time from your schedule to get involve in your daughter's educational growth When she is suppose to be doing homework, make sure she is doing it and monitor her work. Be there for her if she has any inquiries about her work that she doesn't understand. That's the only advice I can offer.  |

You need to somehow get the daily assignments from her teacher. Either the teacher sends home a written assignment sheet or you call the teacher. Then, homework comes before anything else. So you child gets home from school, allow them 15-30 minutes to relax. Then they do their homework. Don't tell your child that you know what her homework is. If she says "I don't have any" Then you respond "How about ....." and list what she needs to do. It's very important that she do her homework before she watches any TV, plays any games or goes to play with friends. You need to do all this in a very positive manor. Basically, she's going to sit and finish her assignments or she doesn't get to do anything. Kids learn fast. If you do this in a positive manor(I kknow it's hard) you can get her back on track.  |

I do help with her work every night. I have found out she has kept some of it at school so I don't know that she has it. I am at her school every evening and the teacher has never mentioned anything to me. I didn't find out until I got her report card.  |

I would suggest talking with her teachers and finding out what the specific problems are. Then sit down with your daughter and help her though whatever subject is an issue That will work Im sure.  |

my parents would ground me, no playing outside with friends until progress reports. If my grades didn't improve, something was taken away stereo, tv, games, such and such until I only had a bed in my room at one point. Maybe it will work maybe not.  |

I agree with the others about talking to her teacher about her homework everyday. Find out directly from the teacher what she needs to have done.  |

Is there anything that is going on in her life that may be causing her to act out in this way? I know that when bad things were going on in my own childhood, I started struggling in school when I had previously been at the top of my class. It could be a manifestation of stress.  |

I find it's always helpful to talk to the teacher first, and then you can try the behavioural counselor if your school has one or just the regular guidance counselor. Let her know that you are very concerned and you only want her to do her best that, you are not asking for anything else other than that. Let her know that she can come to you with any problem she may be having at school and you care very deeply about the matter. I know you only want the best for her so, let her know that and help her to understand that there are consequences to every action. She may even be bored with school so, you may want to have her IQ tested as well. Just a few thoughts I had  |

I know her IQ is above average. I can't think of anything specific going on in her life. I think it is because people felt sorry for her when her daddy passed away and let her slide on so much. She also tries to impress a little boy in her class that stays in trouble constantly. It is not his fault she is misbehaving,I am not suggesting that. |

I would set up a meeting with the Teacher. Find out what's going on and WHY she's getting these behaivor x's.
