Why do kids lie? Understanding the reasons and empowering parents with effective solutions

Navigating the journey of growing up poses challenges, especially for children because they still are in the process of understanding the complexities of the world and assigning meaning to every facet of life. Many parents often express concerns about their children lying during the period of the transition from early childhood to adolescence. It is important to understand the reasons behind why kids lie and what parents can do about it. Create a safe space: We need to create an environment where children feel safe, admitting their mistakes or thinking they are not proud of rather than sharing the repercussions. Focus on being patient and understanding: Since children are still figuring out things around them, it's very important for us to be patient with them so that they can put things across while feeling safe.
