#1.Fear: Fear is a common reason for lying. Kids think about what would happen, if the truth came out. Would their mother be really mad?, Would their privileges be taken away?,And how would their father react?. When it all comes down to it the effect of lying is a temporary shelter from punishment. Children may lie because t hey may be afraid of what their parents may do.
#2.Habit:Lying can also become a habit. If a child keeps lying for little reasons, they may be so use to doing it that may will continue.Habitual lying is often strengthened by hostile confrontation. For example: If I thought someone ate may candy and I went up to that person yelling instead of just asking them nicely, they may just lie. The corrected way to deal with someone like that is to give the child a chance to retract the lie without fear of consequences.
I think that this cartoon means
that their are all types of lies, their are rumors, normal lies and innuendo. Many people lie and make things up for no reason at all, just for a excitement.
#3.Modeling:Children also picks up what ever they see around them. Children can also learn how to lie by watching other people. One source of modeling is from within the home. If the parents are doing it, then the lids are going to follow. since the parents can't stop the kids form being around people who lie on the outside then it is best to eliminate lying within the home.
#4.Over prediction:Some kids lie because they over predict a reaction. They predict what t heir parents would say and do before they even do it. One way to address over prediction is to provide the child with clear boundaries and rules, but to let the child know that these boundaries are negotiable.
I've lied before, I can't remember when or what I lied for but I know I did. All kids I think at one time in they life lies, whether if they think it is for a good reason or not they lie. I do not get in trouble for a lie unless it catches up to me, but like people say your lie always catches up so be careful.
I think that this cartoon is really funny but it's kinda messed up. He says to the girl "I would have told you all of this yesterday but i just made it up today". That's shows that it really don't matter when he told her cause he's lying anyway.
Dr. Kutner's, a child Psychologists says that"
Lying is a skill all children learn. It is a tool for avoiding blame or punishment, and for shoring up a poor self-image" She explains in a article that I read that all children lie, but some lie more than others. The most common reason why kids lie is the fear of punishment, the f ear of NOT knowing how their parents will react.This is especially true when the punishment is severe or the parents have unrealistically high expectations for their children. I do not think that a child should be scared of a parent, I think that a child should be able to tell their parent any thing they want. Older school-age children will also lie to enhance their self-esteem and social status. They might lie to make themselves feel good. No matter what children lies, but we just would have to find the reason for why are they lying. I think that sometimes parents may be the reason why kids lie because parents can react to strongly to certain things and may scare the child.
