Kids, especially young kids, lie for many different reasons. 1. They are learning morals and are experimenting with consequences (which you can teach them.) 2. They want to avoid trouble. 3. They are still having a hard time understanding fantasy vs. reality. If your child lies, model truth telling, give appropriate consequences for lying, teach how to apologize and how to make things right. #parentingtips #childdevelopment #childpsychology #childtherapist #parentingadvice
