Description

All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings-a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will).

"Victoria Talwar is the leading authority on the development of lying and deception in children. I’m a huge fan of her work.

"Talwar is a renowned researcher of children’s deception, and this book will enhance her reputation among scholars and, what’s more important, explain the nuances of lying to a lay audience. It is chock full of evidence-based insights for parents and children. There is nothing quite like it, and both parents and students will benefit immensely from reading it." —Stephen J.
