“The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.”
Do not we often find our children lie? If a child is accustomed to being honest from an early age then the mental and the honest soul will always be attached to the child so that he will be honest.
Continue how to overcome so that children do not lie and always be honest? These tips useful for steemian friends:
- be an honest example
Parental example is important because most of the child's life is family.
For example when the child is crying we say "do not cry, later bought ice cream". Well, finally the child stopped crying and instead parents forget his promise. Such a trivial thing actually educates the child to behave dishonestly.
Directing Children to say Right.
When we see the child eat to Ice Cream, avoid asking "Are you eat to Ice Cream snack today?" We better say "Mama know today you eat to ice cream".Do not punish the child by our statements.
"Spilled drink, surely you spill!" Such statements encourage children to dodge, because no one likes to be cornered. Better to use the word "This glass is now on the floor, how can that be? Mama thinks someone spilled it. "Help the child see the whole truth. Often the child lies because he is less able to remember the whole story, so dissolve in the imagination that he created himself, the task of the mother is helpful to remember the whole story.

Better "Gosh ... The picture is really good, but it's great if the picture here affection (give paper) it can be made piguranya later.
Do not force the child to acknowledge the bad deeds he has done, give him time.
Reduce pressure, high standards, and excessive penalties. "Honey ... If you rank in the class, Mama will give you a Bicycle,". otherwise, mom will reduce your snack money. Though the child is always in the Top 10 rankings, two may happen, motivated children or otherwise just make children lie to avoid the three.
Trusting Children. If we are honest will be trusted, and vice versa if we are trusted we will be honest. So try to trust our children then the Son will be honest with us.
