This is my personal favorite. Lying and cheating often go along with a need to win at something. Boys are very competitive by nature and will often lie, cheat, blame-shift and accuse in order to win. One day I had enough of my 8 year old son’s tantrums on the tennis court. I marched off [...]
“When you cheat you cheat yourself.” For example, if you say to your coach you did 15 laps but you actually did 12 you are only cheating yourself. You will not become as fit as you could be. If you cheat at a tennis game and you win you will not feel like a winner. [...]
“The truth shall set you free.” It is much harder to walk around with a lie than facing the consequences of honesty. Lies bind you in chains but the truth will set you free – help you feel relieved and lighter – as if you could shake a heavy load off your shoulders.
“If you lie I cannot trust you” If I do not trust you I am going to hover over you like a helicopter – all the time. Prove to me that you are worthy of my trust by being honest. Kids will have to be a bit older to grasp the concept of trust. Maybe [...]
The truth is not an excuse to say hurtful things to someone. Before saying something ask yourself: “Is is true, is it necessary and is it kind?” Yes, your sister may be a bit chubby ( that’s true.) But it is not necessary or kind to say that to her. So don’t.

This could be an indication that he is is involved with an unsavory group and possibly also drugs, alcohol etc. If a child [...]
Some children crave attention. If they cannot get positive attention they will settle for negative attention. If his lying is followed by a big fuss and lots of attention he has achieved his goal. I would like to suggest that parents honestly look at the time they spend with that child – one on one. [...]
Children have different reasons for lying. Be aware of the reason behind the lie. Is is fear of punishment? Does he feel unsure about himself? Is he looking for attention? Maybe he just doesn’t t feel like doing something (homework for example) and will try to put it off by lying about it. Does he feel [...]
All children lie at some stage. It is a normal part of their development and not something we as parents have to take personal. With younger children it is sometimes difficult to know the difference between a lie and a tall story. The best way to do this is to look at why a child is [...]
