You’ve Got This - With Zazi and Tess, Speech Therapists

Kids lie—it's a fact of life. But before you start worrying that your little one is on a path to deception, let’s talk about why kids fib in the first place. In this episode, Tess and Zazi break down the developmental reasons behind lying, from imagination-fueled storytelling to fear of getting in trouble.

We’ll chat about how to respond in a way that encourages honesty without creating more lies, how to avoid shame-based reactions, and what to do when your child keeps stretching the truth. Plus, we’ll share practical, respectful strategies that help kids feel safe enough to tell the truth - no guilt trips required.

Whether your child is claiming they definitely didn’t eat the last biscuit (even with crumbs on their face) or telling tall tales about their day, this episode will give you the tools to navigate it with confidence.
