Why Children Lie: The good, the bad and the ugly!
A Webinar for Child and Play Therapists
In this 1.5 hour webinar, Dr. Lorri Yasenik explores why children lie. Learn how lying is linked to child development and identify the many underlying motivations for lying. Lorri addresses ways to address lying behavior as well as how caregivers can influence moral development in their children. During this video presentation, Lorri interviews a Vice Principal of a Middle School who describes a way of increasing children taking ownership of personal responsibility when conflict arises and a “story” needs to be told. This video can be watched with parents or used to increase an understanding of lying behavior in children. Role-play as part of normative exploration of trying on different “selves” is addressed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1) list 10 reasons why children lie
2) discuss the development of the “ability” to lie
3) describe at least three ways to approach lying behavior
4) discuss how lying and moral development are linked
