221: Lying - Why We Hate It and What To Do About It


Listen Later

Lying and its development in children is natural. Listen today and hear a scenario about an eight-year-old boy who was lying and refusing to take responsibility for his mistakes. Little kids lie as a normal part of their development, typically to avoid getting into trouble or because of what I call their “magical thinking brain.” Older kids lie when it doesn't feel safe to tell the truth, which can be caused by feeling overwhelmed, insecure, or jealous. To handle lying in children, it is important to remember to connect before correcting and to remember that all behavior is communication.

"It takes courage to admit when we screw up."

In this episode, you will learn the following:

  1. How can parents effectively handle lying in their children?
  2. What is the root cause behind a child's lying behavior?
  3. How do children's lies change as they develop, and how can parents adjust their response accordingly?
