Have you ever had your child tell you a fib? Ask him if he did it and he says "No", while holding the evidence in his hands?  Tune in to Fox 4 to hear our parenting expert give us some reasons children tell lies and what we can do about it.
 
Why Children Lie

  • Avoid something
  • Cover up serious problems

What We Can Do To Help

  • Point out logical consequences to lying
  • Acknowledge a child for being honest
  • Teach problem solving skills
