"Lying is a natural 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. Parents and caregivers will learn how to respond effectively when children lie, as well as how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty. Talwar shows parents how to demonstrate honesty across different social settings, and how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others's feelings -- not an easy task! Backed by years of psychological research, this commonsense guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children -- and which ones don't."--Back cover.
