Do you have a "little liar" in your house? Dr. Roger Smith explores why children often "stretch" the truth and how parents should address dishonesty without attacking. In this episode, learn why your emotional state matters more than your words when confronting a lie—because when emotion is high, listening is low. Dr. Smith also shares a humbling story about how our own "harmless" exaggerations or broken schedules can look like lying to our children. Discover how to foster a culture of honesty through patience, kindness, and personal accountability.
