Child psychologists argue that not only children are guilty of children's lies, but also, to some extent, adults around them. It is necessary to carefully understand the reasons that lead the child to cheating, and when you eliminate the cause, the problem will resolve itself.
Children, due to their curiosity and observation, copy the behavior of adults, so if parents in communication with a child repeatedly used deception to hide an uncomfortable truth, the child will consider this the norm.
In situations where the child has made any mistake, you should not emotionally scold him and severely punish him, as later this may cause the child to be simply afraid to tell you the truth.
Psychologists advise parents whose children systematically tell lies to spend more time with their beloved child reading instructive fairy tales or telling them stories from life, explaining that deception is not the best way to attract the attention of parents.
If an older child is prone to fantasies, do not scold him prematurely, if these fictions are not negative. Children often use their fantasies to draw the attention of their peers. In such a situation, it is worth listening to the child's fictions, perhaps a solution to the problem is hidden in them. Pay more attention to the child, do not be too strict about his failures, support him and the need for lying will simply disappear.
