Children are probably the ones who lie the most often during their childhood. Lying at the age of three is actually a natural instinct of children. No one has taught them, but they often lie to adults. Facing a child who lies, parents should also have the right educational methods, otherwise it may backfire. So how should a three-year-old child spend their sensitive period of lying?
How to get through the sensitive period of lying for a three-year-old child
1. Lying is a sensitive period of growth that children must go through, just like how children gnaw their hands during the sensitive period of their mouth. We cannot say that he is unhygienic and throws things around during the sensitive period of his hands. We cannot say that he causes destruction and lies. The sensitive period is just a stage of children's self-awareness and self practice.
2. The arrival of the sensitive period for lying marks the beginning of a child's self-awareness. At the age of three, children begin to interact extensively with others, and they are particularly interested in it. They begin to try telling others things that do not exist to test whether others know that something did not actually happen. This is what we define as lying behavior as adults.
What should I do if my child lies
1. After parents expose their children's lies, they must teach them to bear certain consequences. Only in this way will they realize the boundary between self-interest and harming others, and not let lying become an unconscious choice to solve problems.
2. For example, if a child breaks their phone and says it was done by a dog. At this point, you need to point out both that the child destroyed the item and that he lied, but don't confuse the two because they are completely different things. If a child breaks their phone and uses it to admit their mistake, parents should praise her honesty, even if you are still angry about the phone.
Parents of three-year-old children during the sensitive period of lying must take it seriously. Proper education can completely change their children's habit of lying. Don't let your child grow up to be a liar. To make children aware of the consequences of lying and demand that they bear the consequences of their own lies, and to make them responsible for things.
