How do you deal with it when the person you support lies? Well, first you should determine whether or not that's what they're actually doing. And (spoiler alert!) often what looks like lying may be something else entirely. In this episode, Nate and Jill discuss different possible explanations for a kid saying something that's not true, and best practices for addressing it.
