Burning Question: How to stop your kids from lying

In this “burning question” episode, we discuss effective strategies to prevent our kids from lying by first understanding their motivations for lying and fostering honesty by creating a safe and supportive environment. When we can discover why our kids are lying, we can address the root causes behind their behavior. If we can create a nurturing home environment where we explicitly show that honesty is valued and mistakes are accepted, we’ll strengthen our bonds with our kids which will encourage them to be truthful. Ideally, we want to avoid punishments, and instead, focus on building trust and connection.
