The Truth About Why Kids Lie: Free Live Webinar for Parents
Few things unsettle a parent quite like realizing their child is lying. It can stir up anger, worry and self-doubt, and those conversations can quickly fill with fear and shame. That can make it even harder for a child to tell the truth next time.
In this free webinar, Dafna Lender, LCSW, helps parents look underneath lying and understand what may be happening for a child in that moment. She’ll share why children often lie to protect themselves, how shame can leave them feeling stuck, and practical ways to respond when you know your child isn’t telling the truth. The goal is to respond without ignoring the behavior, letting go of limits, or turning the moment into a battle.
Connection and accountability don’t have to be opposites.
