For many kids, lying serves a very specific purpose. Often, this is more about self-protection and avoiding shame and consequences for something they have done.

In order to effectively understand the potential effects of lying, every parent needs to first understand that “lying” is part of the journey that often occurs between parents and children.

We often think of communication as only the spoken words exchanged between parent and child. However, the truth is that more than 90% of communication is non-verbal communication.
