Do you notice that your child is constantly lying? That's a red flag. All is not well in his life. Such children are likely to have psychological, not moral problems. The reasons for children's lies can be different.
The child is afraid
One of the main reasons why children cheat at different ages is fear. A son or daughter lies because they are afraid of severe punishment. At the same time, initially children are happy to tell everything. But as long as they are not punished.
Sometimes the most dear people are very cruel. The whole point is that it is difficult for a child to meet their expectations, and they do not want to accept him as he really is. As a result, in order to protect themselves, the child deceives. Such a situation cannot be left as it is. The child does not trust you, but is afraid.
A lot of inhibitions
Sometimes moms and dads don't realize that they are hurting their children with their constant prohibitions. If a child regularly hears from close people "you can not", he has nothing else to do but ... lie. It turns out that a very tiny deception becomes the best way to get everything he wants most of all.
The desire to hear praise
There are times when children start bragging about their invented successes. They constantly embellish and lie in their stories. All this is for the praise of mom and dad. Sometimes the fault in this situation is the parents who want too much from children. And such children's lies can also be associated with the desire to assert themselves.
Parents want to raise an overly polite person
Mom and Dad teach the child to be silent about their own emotions and forbid them to talk about negative feelings.
An example of adults
Sometimes a child observes that words may not match actions. This bad example is often set by the parents themselves. When a child learns that he has been deceived, he will allow himself to do the same.
Cheating out of spite
Every child realizes how much lying can annoy adults. Therefore, sometimes children may do this to make their parents angry.
