how can i get my children (ages 12, 10, and 4) to stop lying to me?
despite the many hours and lectures i have spent talking to them about the detriments of lying. my husband and his family lie so much about almost everything. Is lying it genetic?
I don't think it's genetic. It's learned behavior. What I did with my five; when I knew they were lying I went along with the lie. To the point of embarrassment. I retold their lie to everyone I came in contact with in their presence. I didn't preach or scold, well, I did at first but realized it wasn't working. They soon learned if you lie, it's gonna get broadcast.
They lie because they are scared of being punished or maybe because they are ashamed of the truth and the 4 year old is getting it from the others so tell them you love them more and tell them why you punish them and tell them how much you love them and why lying is bad.
For every lie they tell, take away something they value and don't return it.

My daughter is going through a phase where she is lying a lot. It's not about big stuff, and she's pretty honest about if she does wrong things. But she will lie to try to get her way. I am trying to figure out how to get over this hump.

Do you know someone that lies consistently and do you confront them or let it go?Some people lie to make themselves look better and I think some just do it out of habit. If someone lies to you on a regular basis do you confront them or are you afraid they'll get defensive and let it go?

Why do people disguise who they reaaly are, why do people lie, is it possible to be 100% honest?Lying does it exist because of that fear of rejection takes over our very being, is it because we do not trust anyone truly. In life would things be turned upside down if you would simply never make...

With all of the political hidden agenda, we never truly know what politicians have our best interest in mind. Should all politicians be required to take lie detector tests before and during office?
