Lying is unpleasant and no one wants to put up with such behavior. A difficult situation arises when children begin to lie to their parents.
Besides personal example, there are several other reasons that every parent should know and remember.
Why children lie to their parents, reports the media portal " Karavan ".
Reasons
1. The reason may be the already mentioned example, when children begin to lie following their parents or other authoritative adults.
2. A child may start lying if the conditions of upbringing in the family are very strict, or the parents’ demands are excessive and inadequate.
3. One of the common reasons for telling a lie is to avoid punishment. This can also include an attempt to attract attention or fear.
4. Another reason for deception may be a game of imagination. Sometimes children indulge in such experiments.
But regardless of the reasons, parents must remember that a child begins to use lies with only one purpose - to protect himself.
The situation can be corrected by teaching the child by personal example to get out of difficult situations without resorting to deception.
