Children's lies are quite common among babies. However, the reasons can be hidden in very unexpected places.
Fear of being punished
Such a model of behavior is typical for a child in whose family punishment is the main way of upbringing. Fortunately, this model is not justified enough that it should be abandoned immediately. Otherwise, a whole bunch of side effects can await you: from self-doubt to aggression towards parents.
Establishment in society
Such lies are already common in older children who interact with peers at school. They usually embellish reality in order to appear cooler than others. The task of parents in such a situation is to show the child that he can be cool without the imaginary regalia that he attributed to himself.
Distrust of parents
Lack of trust in the relationship of children with their parents is a direct road to constant lies. It all starts with the banal lack of communication between the older and younger generations. In view of this, contact, which is poorly maintained at a young age of a child, may simply disappear already at a more conscious and adult age. Don't forget this.
