When lying becomes a concern for your child it can be very troubling and frustrating for a parent. A simple lie can easily break a trusting relationship between parent and child. As well, a child who is lying constantly can turn it into a life-long habit. It’s important that we teach each of our children the importance of not lying and exactly what the consequences of lying does.
