It's okay when your kids Lie

12/9/2015

When I first noticed Ellie and Matthew lie to me, it took me by surprise. I was shocked and more than a bit upset. 

Then I realized, what a step forward their brains took! 

Lying is a development in our brain that isn't inherently evil, but instead much more like a brain first learning that it can experiment with different messages. 

Love them, and let them see you seeing through the lie. Better to say, "nice try kiddo, I understand that you feel bad about blah blah blah" then fear that this is the beginning of a life of crime. 

Besides, if you never notice them lie to you, you might have a sociopath on your hands!
