[quote=Anonymous]My preschooler, who will be 5 in a couple months, recently discovered lying. I think it's pretty developmentally normal and I am not concerned, but I am wondering what methods others used to effectively put an end to it? The lying is usually to avoid a consequence, but sometimes it is so silly I don't know if I can describe it as a "lie." For example, I'll ask who he saw at the park and he'll name someone who was absolutely not at the park. Other times, I'll hear from his teacher that he did something naughty at school, I'll ask about it, and he'll deny it. When I tell him that I heard from his teacher, he gets a "oops, I'm caught" look on his face. We've tried telling him not to lie, but it hasn't made any impact. Do we just wait this out and keep discouraging it or is there more I could be doing? [/quote]
