How to understand that a child is hiding something: a sign that should alert parents

03.06.2023 11:20

Parents should not expect that their child will necessarily share their experiences with them and talk about all their problems.

It often happens that a boy or girl is bullied at school or in the yard, but the child does not tell mom and dad about it.

However, the baby's facial expressions can give him away, especially if they don't match the words.

There is one sign that parents should never ignore.

Your child says that everything is fine with him, but you doubt it?

Look closely at his facial expression. Ideally, it should match his words. If it doesn't, then it's possible that your son or daughter is hiding something.

If a baby with a sad face assures that everything is fine, then this is a reason to be wary.

It is also worth looking into the situation if the child's eyes are shining. Perhaps the boy or girl is simply holding back tears.

Is your chin trembling? Are the corners of your mouth slightly down? These are also possible bad signs.

Just don’t accuse your child of lying and don’t try to put psychological pressure on him.

Act calmly. Try to find out the truth by indirect signs.

It is possible that you just imagined it. Perhaps the child is not hiding anything, and the sad expression on his face is explained by fatigue.
