How to Deal with the Child Who Lies

Parents pass on values and morals to their children. Your child will learn honesty and dishonesty where they live, in the home. You may be alarmed the first time you hear you child has lied.  Preschool children that lie usually don’t have a serious problem, Sometimes they have a hard time distinguishing the difference between reality and fantasy. And boy do they love to tell elaborate tales!  This is most common in preschool children, who still have an amazing fantasy life and can’t yet distinguish between right and wrong. Children may also lie to avoid being punished or because they are imitating adult behavior.
