Has anyone experienced a high level of lying in their children? DS 5.5 has started lying a lot over the last 6 months. When I ask him about his day he makes up stories. When people ask him standard greeting questions he lies. He makes up very elaborate stories. I have been getting frustrated because it seems like most of what he says is lies.

Today we got feedback from his gifted program teacher, and she is very concerned and says she thinks he is just making stuff up during the entire 3 hour class. She is not sure if he can tell the difference between reality and fiction. I have been frustrated with him, but always assumed he knows he is lying. It happens across all situations with all people. I am not really sure what to do.
