HI Dr.Wagner. I have a question.

I recently got my 11 year olds progress report from school and it turns out she hasnt done her assignments in months and shes lied to us about just about anything she could.

She even willingly only does half a chore and leaves it undone. Her reason for lying, not doing homework and only doing half of chores is: 1: it's boring 2: I didnt think I would get caught

How do I talk to/ punish her in a way that will make her understand that you cant fail school or not do chores/help people simply because its "boring" and "I thought I could get away with it"?

General info about her is: 1 shes addicted to a game called roblox 2 she doesnt have an attitude problem, shes a really pleasant person 3 no matter what we introduce her to, she hasnt found a new hobby she likes besides roblox and YouTube in years (I limit roblox but let her play it because it's her only communication with friends outside school)

Also, how can I get her interested in something other than roblox and youtube? I've tried taking them both away but she will literally lay on her bed for days waiting for them to return

Sorry for the long message, I just really need some help before I have a young adult who lies non stop and wont do anything but play roblox

Please help me. And thank you very much

Thank you very much for the answer. I'll give it a shot.

Any idea how I can get her interested in things without saying shes uninterested in anything but roblox and youtube?
