When your kids lie

When your kids lie, how does it make you feel? How do you respond as the parent? Our response is based on our own beliefs, experiences, subconscious programs that we formed at an early age. Your child’s response is based on their own beliefs, experiences, subconscious programs that they have formed from an early age. What is the best way to deal with lying? Tell your kids, “Don’t lie to me?” What that does, is trigger an automatic response from your child. Fear, remembering what has happened in the past when they lied. If past experiences told them that they only got in trouble for telling a lie, will they want to be honest? As parents, one of the first things we need to look at is our own responses to situations and events. What is our subconscious programming causing us to do? How can we respond differently and create a new habit, new subconscious programming that works for us instead of against us? Here is a video from postinstitute.com that can be extremely helpful in how you respond to your child’s lies, and explains how to respond instead, that will help them to change the limiting beliefs that they have about what happens to them when they do lie to you. Practicing the technique in this video, over and over, until it becomes automatic (you are on autopilot), will enable your parenting skills to improve dramatically in these situations.

Here’s to beginning to end our children’s lying, and improving our parenting!
