Under supervision, we allow DS2 to use screwdriver to change batteries out of his toys. Since then he wants to change batteries all the time, which is what I expect for his age.

When he tells us his toy needs �more batteries,� we usually show him his toy works as it is. He goes a step further by turning the toy off and tells us his toy needs �more batteries,� so his toy won�t work when we try it the first time around.

Right now, I usually just turn it back on and tell him it�s indeed working. Of course, he knows the toy works without me showing him.

Is this considered lying? How should I deal with it if it is?
