My 6 year old on a daily basis complains about something hurting or not feeling good. This has been going on and off for a while, but it's really became an issue when we had Parent Teacher Conferences and learned how bad it has become at school. We found out every day she walks into the class room and tells the teacher her toe hurts, tummy hurts, back of her tooth, arm, anything she can think of; the school nurse even sends her back to class. She's learned who will baby her and give her the attention. At home we created the rule, if you're sick then you need to take a nap (or go to bed) and that seemed to stop the issue for a while. On Monday she was sick with a fever, stomach problem, etc. Now all she wants is to have her temp taken and for more medicine. I've learned she does this to other family members and my fear is she's being given medicine she doesn't need from them. How can we stop the lies? I'm worried one day she will be truly sick and no one will believe her.
