The psychology of lies is a whole science, it is studied by professors, scientists and just interested people. The psychology of a child's lies is a special topic. The kid is not yet mentally formed, and all of his inner state can be identified by his lies.
The psychology of a child's lies lies in the fact that a lie hidden in the subconscious is certainly manifested in his facial expressions, the state of his eyes, and unnatural movements. Even an adult finds it difficult to hide a wandering glance when he is deceiving, but a child does not even think about it at all.
First of all, there is a change in gesticulation when the child is lying. His hands are restless, constantly reaching out to his face, he constantly fiddles with his fingers, his legs do not stand still.
Another way to reveal deception is the physical condition of the little deceiver. If another fictional story appears, then the child will definitely either stomp on the spot, or walk back and forth, in general, his movements will be restless.
Often little pranksters take a lie for the truth. Reading books to them, we often present a lie along with a fairy tale: sometimes animals talk to us, then cars play football. So they, coming up with something of their own, truly believe in what has been said.
If you find deception, never scold or especially punish the child. It is important to understand why he is lying. The child is still so small, he cannot deliberately take and lie, pay attention to this. There is a reason for any deception.
Perhaps the child is deceiving only on a certain topic - it means that something is bothering him, maybe he is afraid of something or someone. Maybe he wants to say something or ask, but, knowing in advance about the refusal, intuitively comes up with a profitable lie.
The psychology of lies is not an easy science studied by specialists, but parents should feel their baby and help him, if necessary, without any sciences.
