IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF
I want to tell you The lie is something that currently invades the world of adults in an excessively natural way. However, young children, when they start talking, only tell the truth.
Children learn to be dishonest for different reasons. The main reason is probably because they learn that telling lies can prevent scolding. On the other hand, they can also start lying to win the favor of others or discover that it may be the way to get the reward they are looking for. Of all these reasons we can say that children learn to be dishonest by the attitude of others, especially adults. In this sense, we should not blame them, but ourselves.

Children need to be taught the importance of honesty, avoiding retaliation and valuing the truth. A child who is dishonest or a liar is often because he does not trust others and there is no greater educational failure than a child who does not trust his parents or teachers.

There are a number of concrete steps you can take to teach children to be honest.
