Lying is wrong.
Tell your child in a gentle and firm tone that lying is wrong. If we can trust children and give them more love, they may choose not to lie.
♀? Don't punish excessively.
Severe blame and punishment may make children feel scared. Forcing them to admit their mistakes may be counterproductive, making them even more afraid to tell the truth. If punishment is necessary, we need to weigh the child's psychological and physical endurance.
Enhance communication
Strengthening communication with children and enhancing the understanding and trust between parents and children are the key to prevent children from lying. Through in-depth communication with children, we can better understand their needs and puzzles, so as to provide them with better guidance and support.
Encourage admitting mistakes.
It is very important to encourage children to admit their mistakes. When they lie, we need to understand the reasons behind their lies and educate them to be responsible for their actions. Appropriate praise and rewards should be given to children who admit their mistakes, but at the same time, the correction and lessons of mistakes should not be ignored.
Learn more about the reasons
When children lie, we need to know the reasons behind it. It may be because the child is afraid of punishment, or it may be because he wants to avoid responsibility. Knowing the reasons can better help children correct their mistakes.
