Sorry to say that I agree that this looks more like addictive behavior than lying. I agree. I also think it might help to consult a counsellor or other professional. |

As a mom to a boy that I think could potentially get "addicted" to video games, I would say get help. I agree with other that it sounds more like and addiction. It is a behavior that he can not control and it is a real thing. I guess really tell him about all the positives he is doing with his life and there is more to life than video games and electronics and that is why you want him to get help.

Start lying to him. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
And put the electronics under lock n key. You are enabling him.

I would get rid of all of his electronics and I would give him zero access for the summer.
I would find him some sort of physical jobs to do. Cutting grass for the elderly for free.
He needs to learn about money, privilege and doing without in relation to electronics.
I would also work with a parenting counselor.

Well, he needs to learn that being suspected of lying is a logical consequence of his lying. He needs to earn that trust back. Better for him to learn it now than when he is older and his job could be at stake. (((Hugs)))
