Many children develop the habit of lying from childhood. But how does this nature develop in the mind of an innocent child? What is the way out of this?
from fear
Children tend to lie because of fear of their parents. Excessive discipline or scolding often causes children to hide the truth to protect themselves.
From parents
Children are imitators. Regularly learns details from everyone around. That's why parents should always be careful, even if they forget, they can't lie in front of the child. One should refrain from doing bad things. If parents lie, children will learn.
from joy
Many children find joy in lying. The feeling of doing something hidden from parents overwhelms them.
How to prevent children from lying?
Create a place of trust
Create an environment inside and outside the home where children feel free to express themselves. Life is about mistakes. Apologizing for mistakes is nothing to be afraid of. Rather, people learn from mistakes. Try to gain the child's trust. By doing this, the child will reduce lying on his own.
Increase communication
Teach children to express their emotions and feelings from an early age. Moral values, respect for each other - instill these things in the child's mind at an early age. By doing this, the children will understand their mistakes easily, and they will be able to find a way out of that mistake themselves.
Be the ideal yourself
Children constantly observe the people around them, and learn from it. So try to make yourself an ideal person for the child. Seeing you, children will also want to be ideal people.
Be patient
Lack of patience is the biggest barrier to communication with children. As fast as an adult can understand everything, it is not possible for children. That's why you have to be patient while talking to children. Take time to explain even the smallest things, patiently explain them from beginning to end.
Sometimes due to lack of proper communication with children, fear can spread in the mind of the child. From there the tendency to lie can develop.
Figuring out why children lie is a complicated matter. But as a parent of a child one has to handle this increasingly complicated matter very carefully. A friendly relationship between parents and children can make this complex issue easier.
