hi, there is this little girl that lives with us she's the worst liar i've ever seen she lies too much you can't stand her, her lies got noticed around age 5 and it was a bit cute the she grew a litle older and her lies were funny but i remebered before i left nigeria her lies wasn't funny anymore,she lies and we would punish her, her lies are very serious, if this girl say something you should beleive it's the opposite all her teachers complained about her, now i'm on holiday and at home she is now a chronic liar everybody is fed up and her lies is even turning to normal it's no biggie anymore but i love this girl and you can tell her lies will cause her trouble if not now maybe later so i decided to help her to stop lieing and she's not getting any younger but her lie is getting old with her, before i go back to england in august ending i'm determined to cure this girl, i though of taking her to a psychology or therapist but i don't know any here in nigeria what can i do

 i tried this successfuly on my cousin when she was  little, i hope it still works now.
 give that child an exaggerated account of the fable " sheep that was always crying wolf".
       In the story ,a a certain sheep was fond off calling for help pretendind that a wolf was on him. he did it the first time ,got people running to his rescue only to tell his concerned friends that he is joking, he does did continuously until people get used to his false alarms and don't act on it. it is at this point that a real wolf attacks him. even when he cries out 4 help, no one shows up because they think he is lying again .
  MORAL ; WHEN WE ALWAYS LIE, NO NE BELIEVES US EVEN WHEN WE ARE TELLING THE TRUTH
  Describe what happened, in very vivid terms, the fate that befell the sheep @ the end of the story. my cousin was in a shock for days after that story so when i start suspecting she is lying ,i just remind her of the story and out the truth will come spilling.
 now she is 15 and tell her younger ones , or any potential liar that story .

all the best
