Episode 69

Most children lie at some point. Of course any parent is likely to feel angry and concerned when a child lies.

Unfortunately, when our responses come from this place of anger and concern, we usually respond in a way that doesn’t address the issue effectively.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why our usual attempts at reducing lying tend to backfire
• 3 reasons children lie (it’s not just to avoid punishment)  
• How to respond to lies when they happen
• What you can do to reduce the likelihood of the behavior in the future
