You catch your kid in a lie and suddenly you're spiraling. Is this the first step toward a life of crime? Did you mess up somewhere along the way? Are you raising a future con artist who’s going to scam their way through life and end up on a Netflix documentary? Deep breath, friend. You are not alone—and your kid is not broken.
Turns out, lying is a totally normal part of growing up (and honestly, adulthood too... ever said “I’m on my way” when you were still in pajamas?). Kids lie because they’re scared of getting in trouble, they don’t want to disappoint us, or sometimes because, well, cookies are delicious and bedtime is dumb.
In this episode, we will tell you the real reason most kids lie, the best way to handle it when they do lie by talking you through 3 very common situations where kids lie and share with you exactly what you can do to get them to stop lying and get stronger relationship in the meantime.
