Hi guys.
I'm working with this current group of kiddos to work conflicts out on their own, rather than coming to tell me so much. They're doing pretty good and even go get the talking stick on their own.
I have one 5yo, however, who just insists over and over "I didn't do/say that". Even if I saw him or have evidence he did. He's not in trouble about these things, just in order to take out a problem you have to admit you did it
. I could show him a video of himself doing it and he'd still say he didn't.
Any suggestions on how to get him past this? He'll go to tears yelling that he didn't do it when he knows he did. He's very verbal and high cognitive functioning so there's no issue of him not understanding, and he understands truth from lie. I just hate handing out a consequence when he could have just talked it out.
