Why a 9 year old girl steals and lies?

Answer 1

In the daughter's mind, there is a payoff for that kind of behavior. If she thinks she can get what she wants by theft and deception, that's what she'll do. That kind of behavior needs to be corrected at a very young age, otherwise it leads to a permanent characteristic.

AnswerThis could be an attention thing, she wants to make a point. The best thing to do here is just to not give her the attention. If she lies or steals punish her but don't give her the attention she is trying to get. Theres a good chance she will grow out of this, but you need to make it clear to her that's its not OK to lie and steal, so she wont carry on when she is older.

Answer 2

A child will often lie about stealing something or doing something wrong in a fear of being punished.
