It is necessary to educate children, often because they are too spoiled, which leads to their stubborn personality and lack of discipline when they grow up. So parents need to realize the importance of educating their children. Many children like to lie because they don't know what's wrong with lying. So how should parents educate their children about the dangers of lying?
The harm of educating children to lie
1. Replace severe punishment with care and acceptance
Overly harsh punishment sometimes cannot eliminate a child's lying behavior. On the contrary, it may cause the child to continue lying out of fear of punishment, or damage the parent-child relationship, and even hurt the child's self-esteem. Therefore, when dealing with a child's lying behavior, parents can use warmth and acceptance, patiently guide the child, and try to let the child understand that parents are right about the matter, not the person, to avoid erasing the value of the child's whole person due to problematic behavior.
2. Understand and reflect on the child's inner feelings
After a child makes a mistake, they will inevitably feel uneasy and afraid of being blamed by adults. If parents criticize their child's behavior with their own values, the child may be even more afraid to express their true thoughts. If parents can try to understand the feelings behind their children's behavior and empathize and reflect on them.
The reason why children love to lie
1. Evading punishment
In most cases, children lie to avoid punishment, such as poor exam results or being mischievous and afraid of being punished by their parents. Once this situation is discovered, it is necessary to clarify the interests and decisively stop the health. If the goal is achieved once, bad behavior may be reinforced.
2. Imitating adults
Children sometimes see their parents, adults around them, or lying scenes on TV, and they can't suppress their curiosity and learn from them. Therefore, parents must be cautious in their words and actions in front of their children.
3. Obtain achievements
Some children have rich imagination and often mix their own imagined scenes and characters when describing things, describing them vividly and showing off themselves. At this point, while correcting, it is important to acknowledge their abilities and not forcefully stop them to avoid damaging the child's self-esteem.
Now parents should know how to educate their children about the dangers of lying, right! Lying by children is not a small matter, and often it is these seemingly insignificant things that parents think affect their children. Actually, it's not just about lying. Parents need to pay attention to many things and not have an impact on their children that is difficult or impossible to change.
