Kids can say the sweetest of things, and the sourest of things. You never know what is going to come out of their darling little mouth's at any given time. Somehow, they always seem to be baking up some sort of surprise for their parents to hear about, and they are not alway the good kind. Let's talk about the elephant in the room

Why is my kid lying to me? |
Well, it's could be one of these two reasons: 1.) The biggest reason why kids lie is because they love you. Up you read it right, it's because they love you so much that they don't want to displease you by telling you the big bad truth. 2.) Sorry to say this to you but, the other reason is that they are afraid of you. What? Your talking crazy Nadine, why would my kids be afraid of me? I love them more than life itself! Well, let me tell you. Their afraid of your reaction!
Whatever the reason is that your kids are afraid to tell you the truth, just remember, your the adult and their the kids. It's up to you to fix this problem! |
You need to make the first move! You need to stick your finger write in the middle of their sweet apple pie and destroy it. Stop them from serving it to anyone else!
This means, out of the blue, you need to have an intentional and calm, conversation with you child about the lying. About how much you love them and how no matter what they do, they could never make you love them less. We take it for granted that our loved ones just know this but, it does a heart good to hear it!
