LSers, I need your help please.

This morning I found out that my six year old lied about eating his lunch we pack for him. I spoke to one of the care takers at the school and he caught my son dumping his sandwich in the trash. This incident occured last week.

We ask him everyday if he ate his lunch and he says "yes". Obviously he is lying.

I have no idea how many times he has done this. Once, twice, 10 times ? I feel hurt that he is lying but don't want to explode.

He is a great kid. We talked to him in the past that lying is wrong. He knows.

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.
