Is your child lying? Should you be worried?
Dr Carol Newall, one of Mindworx Psychology’s Clinical Psychologists, with her colleague Penny Van Bergen recently had an article published in the Conversation about children and lying. Is telling tall tales all part of childhood – or is all lying wrong? Should you punish your child if you discover they have been a liar? Have they ever lied to you?
If you have always wondered if your child should be in trouble for lying, whether it’s age appropriate, or what to do, it’s a fascinating read: Your child is a liar, but don’t worry it’s a good thing!
