Most parents are horrified the first time they catch their kid out in a lie. Just how worried should you

be if your little one has started lying, and how can you encourage them to tell the truth?
According to child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, MD, lying can actually be a sign of healthy

development in young children.
“Kids lie for many reasons, and much of it is normal,” DeSilva says. “People are not born with the

tools of interacting with others and getting their needs met. They must learn how to communicate those
needs in appropriate ways, and they ll experiment with different communication techniques until they find

the ones that work best for them. Lying is one of those techniques. ”
For instance, at age two or three, kids may lie as they experiment with pushing limits to see what

behaviours are acceptable and what aren t. As kids get older, they become more aware of how their actions

affect others. Many lie less frequently because they know it could hurt someone else s feelings or trust.
Teens were most likely to consider lying an acceptable behaviour if it was to help somebody or keep a

personal secret, but not if it was likely to cause harm to somebody.
Just because lying is, in most cases, normal, doesn t mean it should be ignored. If you know your

child is lying, what should you do? When a child lies, look at them directly and ask, “ What do you
need?” After they tell you, gently remind them that telling you directly will be more effective than lying.

Also, it s a good idea to model the behaviour you want to see in your kids. In other words, don t lie

to your children. This will set you and your children on a course of open communication, trust, and
satisfaction that needs and wants are understood and met.
