How To Prevent Your Kids From Lying

How To Prevent Your Kids From Lying

By:


You received a call from school, informing you that your child hadnt arrived at school. You became frantic the entire day when suddenly your kid come barging in. You asked him where he had been, and he flatly said he was in school.

Isnt that hurtful and frustrating? No parent would want their child to like, more so straight to his or her face. But how do you exactly deal with that?

The following may be helpful:

1. Know the reason for the lying. There are plenty of reasons why children lie. Its either they are afraid of the consequences or you tolerate them (you allowed them to come up with stories and accept them as truths). Get to the bottom of the lying and see if its something you can correct immediately. Once you eliminate the reason, you may be able to get rid of the lies.

2. Create and enforce rules. If you dont want to be lied to, then you need to develop certain rules and penalties. But the real struggle of parents isnt really creating the laws but enforcing them. Children know how to touch their parents soft spots. Before you know it, youre giving in to their requests.

Its time to be very firm if you want to implement a change. If you mean no TV for the entire week, then there should be none for seven days.

Needless to say, ensure that your children understand the reason for the punishment. This way they wouldnt think theyve been penalized for no reason. Further, be careful with the penalties you gave. You dont want those that can physically, emotionally, and psychologically hurt the child.

3. Teach them while theyre young. If you dont want your children to lie when they grow up you should teach them how to be honest when theyre still young. The young ones are much easier to train since they can absorb every lesson you gave them.

4. Be a good example. You can never preach about honesty if you yourself lie. Thats why if you say youre going to pick them up from school, you should strive hard to do it. Never lie to your family members or to your friends. Most of all, never catch yourself lying in front of your children.

5. Dont judge the person but the action. Do you know that people learn to live up to their labels? If you call someone a thief, then theres a huge chance hes going to believe that and start stealing. If you tell your child hes a liar, he might as well continue with it, because you already believe in it.

6. Keep yourself sane with affirmations. Parents with lying children would often question themselves, Did I do something wrong? Its easy for you to put the blame on yourself when there are other factors that would have caused it, including the influence of his or her peers.

If you need to get back on track in disciplining your children, you can use subliminal messages:

I dont judge my child but his wrongdoing.
I forgive what hes done but wont tolerate his action.
I can definitely help change his behavior.
