Am I a bad parent if my child is lying or is this totally normal? This week I sit down with Devon Kuntzman of Tranforming Toddlerhood to tackle the topic of lying. We cover:

1. Am I a bad parent if my child is lying or is it normal?

2. When do toddlers often start lying and why?

3. Should I ignore lies or address them?

4. Walk me through what do I do and say when I catch my toddler in a lie? For example: my toddler says he didn't color on the walls but there are stick drawings that weren't from me or the dog.

5. How can I encourage telling the truth rather than lies in future scenarios?
