Have you ever heard parents teaching their children to lie? Or able to control their reaction or response when they find out about the lie their child has said? Picturize a face of a child with a mouth covered with ice cream, and they are trying to wipe it off while telling us that they haven’t eaten anything. I am sure it must have brought a smile to your face. Children typically begin lying in preschool ages during 3-4 ages. Something that starts humorously take the form of big lies. May be because they think this is an easy way to save themselves. Or they must have seen their elders doing it. Or perhaps some other reasons. So, let’s talk about why they lie and how we can control that.

How to encourage them to tell the truth?

1. When teaching kids about behavior, role modeling

2. Help them not take help of lying for their actions.

3. Praise them for taking ownership if they have done anything wrong.

4. We don’t have to overreact.
