that there was a hidden camera in his room recording everything that he does?

I am not recording him. Come on. I told him that because he is very sneaky and thinks that he is getting away with a lot of stuff.

I would have to say the wrong was in placing the camera in the first place. Unless the kid is some kind of incorrigible individual who might set the place on fire or is doing drugs, then it would be better to simply get him/her professional help.
I would have to see some serious need for the camera, and the reason for monitoring the kid being supervised by professionals before I'd consider that a good thing to do.

I'd certainly make sure you say it in a joking matter, or go back to him and tell him you're sorry for making him believe that because that is going to develop a paranoia in him, and an antisocial trait in him, and a dislike of and distrust in you by him if he takes you seriously. And if you do apologize or make sure he realizes you were joking, MAKE SURE OF IT, and that he forgives you. You don't want that sticking around in his mind, although it may be there a while already. I'm a retired mental health professional with 20+ years in an outpatient clinic, and have dealt with many families, and so I feel I'm pretty accurate in what I'm telling you. God Bless you.

well the first question you should ask yourself is: "why do i need a camera in my 5 year old son's room watching everything he does." the answer to that question is you don't. kids will be kids. second of all, if you are going to have a camera in there then you shouldn't have told him. i have a five year old and she would not understand, nor hardy care if there is a camera watching her in her room. as i said, kids will be kids, and having a camera in their room will not stop that.

YES!
First of all his room is HIS room. It's his place to go to be alone and have some privacy.
Do you want your son to grow up and be paranoid that no matter where he goes there will be someone watching his every move?
You LIED to your son....did you teach him that lying is wrong? Well if yes, then that makes you a BIG FAT HYPOCRITE! How is he supposed to trust a mother that lies?

Not to make light of the situation, but it's not hidden anymore! LOL!!!
But seriously, you were wrong, in my opinion. If you wanted to 'spy' on him, that's one thing because if he's not listening to you or you suspect he's doing something bad or he's not being honest with you, sure, I would say do it, but TELL HIM????!!!?? NO WAY!!!! That is going to make him paranoid, and untrustworthy. Not the best move you could've made. Good luck.

I don't think it was so wrong. As long as you told him you are recording it to watch him. He might act right and then you can tell him you trust him and you are no longer taping it. There are many ways to disiplen a child. Find a way that works for you and your son.

If you're lying in order to scare him into good behavior, yes, that's wrong. If you actually have a camera in there, I'd say that's equally wrong. A five year old requires adult supervision, but he doesn't require that kind of supervision.

as long as you don't make him think you are watching to see what he is doing wrong. I suppose you have a good reason for this, I know of many do it to protect their children from others.
Just let him know you are doind it for a reason of? and it is both your secrets, and show him what you have recorded, and have fun, He will feel safe knowing that mummy is just taking pictures.

It's your son, so it's your decision.
However, I wouldn't do it with our kids. They have enough to be paranoid about - they should feel secure in their own homes. If you're worried about what they do in the privacy of their own rooms, then perhaps you should keep their doors open.
Parenting can be tough...
