Hi Rachel. I have a 9yr old

Hi Rachel.

I have a 9yr old daughter who tells fibs. They are getting more frequent and larger than life, almost to the point where I think she believes them. When I ask her about it, she says she has to make up stories to make her life more interesting so that other girls will like her and play with her more at school. Is this normal or do I need to see a child physiciatrist?

Regards
Laura
