Lying. It’s a big one. And also, very common. Your child’s lying may trigger you, even scare you. But know this: the lying is a behavior and just punishing the outward behavior without addressing the underlying emotion or need (that’s causing the behavior) is like just seeing the tip of the iceberg and never getting to the root cause. 🙌 I share all my practical tools for lying (and stealing and so much more) in my new course, the Everything 3-7 course | Dr.Siggie - PhD - Parenting Expert

If lying keeps turning into yelling, lectures, or over-the-top consequences, you’re not alone. Most kids lie because they’re scared of getting in trouble, not because they’re “bad.” When discipline focuses on connection and clear expectations, honesty becomes safer and more likely over time. There is an easier way. One that builds trust instead of fear and actually changes behavior. ✨ Want to learn how to handle lying without power struggles or threats?

What to Do When Your Child Lies: ⚖️ Stay Calm. Lying is a mistake, not a sign of bad character. Respond as you would to any other mistake—correct it, but also teach them what to do next time. Harsh reactions (yelling, physical punishment) may stop the behavior temporarily, but they don’t teach your child what to do instead. Plus, research shows that harsh responses can lead to more lying, as these types of reactions often make kids scared to seek help when they mess up. 🚫 Avoid Power Struggles.

If I caught your child lying, I wouldn’t jump to consequences. I’d look at why honesty didn’t feel safe in that moment. Decades of developmental research show that children lie most often to protect connection, not to deceive. Dr. Ross Thompson and Dr. Dan Siegel both explain that when kids fear disappointment, emotional withdrawal, or big reactions, their nervous system chooses self protection over truth. That means lying is often a signal, not a character flaw. Here’s the hard part most advice
