New study provides key to raising honest kids
Every parent has had moments where they have questioned their parenting skills. One of the things we struggle with when it comes to young children is lying. How do we get them to tell the truth? One study found that the best way to raise honest kids is to not make the experience so negative when they tell the truth. Most kids prefer to lie rather than get in trouble. If you tell them how proud you are that they told the truth while giving out a fair punishment, they are more likely to be honest in the future.
