Why Do Kids Lie? Understanding, Guiding, and Nurturing Honesty
(PRE-RECORDED WEBINAR)
Do you catch your child lying and wonder why it keeps happening — even when you’ve talked about honesty?
Lying is a normal part of child development, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating or concerning. The truth is: children don’t lie because they’re “bad” — they lie for reasons rooted in development, emotions, and how their brain is growing.
In this powerful, therapist-led webinar, you’ll learn exactly why children and teens lie — and how to respond in a way that builds honesty, trust, and emotional growth instead of fear or shame.
