It is often seen that despite giving your best in parenting, your child may adopt some unwanted habits. One of the most common of these is a lie. The good news is that this is not an uncommon problem. Children often lie, sometimes to get their own way or to avoid being reprimanded. This is normal and can be dealt with. The bad news is that if you don’t rein in it, your child may actually grow up to become a habitual liar even into adult life. You can take the following steps to ensure that your kids don’t need to lie to you and that the habit ends before they reach adolescence.
Set an example for your children
Parents are role models for their children. Try to set an example for your child and never lie in front of them. Also, keep telling them that lying is a bad thing.
tone down on your reprimand
Fear of punishment or reprimand is one of the biggest reasons why your children do not speak the truth. Don’t punish them for everything. Tell them it’s okay to make a mistake once in a while. If you catch them lying, talk to them politely and ask why they aren’t telling the truth. Don’t lose your temper.
appreciate the truth
When your child gathers up the courage and tells you the truth about something he has done, commend him for it. This will encourage them to speak the truth about things.
support them in trouble
If your child has a problem, listen to them and help them. Do not ignore the problems faced by the child. Helping them out will make them trust you more and they won’t feel the need to lie to you.
