Children lie often and in different situations, sometimes it’s just fantasies that adults mistake for a lie, sometimes it’s an attempt to brag or take credit for other people’s merits, sometimes it’s a lie out of fear or a “white lie.” Paul Ekaman, the world's leading expert on lying, tells parents why and at what age children begin to lie, how their lies change as they grow older, and how a child learns to deal with his lies by bypassing his conscience. Dr. Ekman teaches parents how to encourage honesty and truthfulness in children so that they do not have the desire or advantage to lie.
