Children and the habit of lying !


Most of the parents are extremely worried about their children’s behavior and this comes naturally to them. They get started when they find out that their child has started lying to them. However they have almost no insurance against these things as they send their children out into the world. Kids go to school and that is the first time they go out into the real world and come in contact with distinct type of people. Kids are naturally inclined towards notorious things such as lying and they learn it from other children and from the media as well.

Let's face the truth: Lying is an inseparable part of human nature and most of us have lied at some point in our life. Therefore little children quickly get attracted to the habit of lying. Well, if your child has developed the habit of lying then do not panic as panicking would not improve the situation even a bit. You must understand one thing that being strict with the child would worsen the situation as it would provoke the child to use lies as a defense mechanism. The best thing that you must do during such a situation is to handle it with patience and caution. Experts from Montessori School of Silicon Valley suggest that you must treat your child with love and you must talk to him/her about it very calmly. Try to find out the reason that has pushed your child into lying. Try to find the root cause and try to resolve it.  

You must be clear about the fact that scolding, humiliating and being harsh with the child is not at all the solution of this problem. It would just scare the child and he/she would cling to the habit of lying even more tightly!
