Question:

Why Children Lie

by Guest7789 | 12 years, 9 month(s) ago

why kids lie is very important factor in determining what to do about it. Lies come out of children's mouths for a variety of reasons:

1. Fear. When kids are scared of the consequences of their actions, they often lie to cover up. (Are the rules too strict? Are the limits too tight? Does your child feel free to talk with you?)

2. To protect somebody else.

3. Because she is imaginative and the truth is boring.

4. To avoid an unpleasant task. (“Did you brush your teeth?” “Yes, Dad!”)

5. By mistake. Sometimes lies seem almost involuntary, and a lie just slips out, especially if your child gets caught in a misdeed. (“Who broke the antique chair? “I didn't!”) Then, soon enough, it's Sir Walter Scott: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!”

6. For love, for approval, and because kids like to impress people quickly and effectively.

One of the main reasons children lie is due to the parent’s reaction to the truth.They learn from an early age how you react when they speak the truth and develop their own way of delivering events in their life to you
