Caught in a LieYour child looks you in the eye and denies it. You know they're lying… so what now?
Lying can feel personal. It can trigger frustration, worry, or even fear that our child is becoming dishonest. But what if lying isn't simply about telling the truth or not? What if it's actually telling us something important about what's happening beneath the surface?
In this episode, we explore lying through a developmental lens—why children lie at different ages, what their lies are really communicating, and how our response as parents can either encourage honesty or push the truth further away.
You'll learn why curiosity is more powerful than punishment, how to respond in ways that help your child feel safe enough to tell the truth, and how moments of dishonesty can become opportunities to build trust rather than break it.
Because children are far more likely to tell the truth when they believe the truth is safe to tell.
