Here is my take.....I kneel down in front of him, maintain eye contact and then say....

"<my son's name>, I found out from <the person who told me about this> that you lied to me about your eating your lunch. Instead you threw it in the trast. I am very hurt by what you did and that you lied to me. As a consequence, you will not be allowed to play wii or watch TV for the next 3 days".

Suggestions for changes/add/delete ?

Thanks.

Wow! That's just amazing to me. A six year old does not have the cognitive development to really understand that a lie is wrong no matter what you say. And banning him from play for not eating a sandwich! Wow! I can hardly believe that you would do that. Link food and guilt...that's not good in myy book. I'm just so shocked by this post I really can't get my thoughts together.
