Parenting Mistakes: Every parent wants their child to be honest, sensible, and truthful. But sometimes children suddenly start lying, and parents are surprised why this is happening. It is not the child's fault, but some small mistakes of the parents that are responsible for this. In such a situation, if we want to keep children away from lies, then first we have to make our behavior honest and sensible. Parents should provide such an environment to children where they can tell the truth without fear. Remember, children learn only what they see around them. Let us know the five common mistakes of parents that force the child to lie.

Showing fear of punishment

When the child does something wrong and the parents threaten to punish him, the next time he starts hiding the truth due to fear. This makes him get into the habit of lying. Everyone makes mistakes, but the child will accept his mistake and confess it to the parents only when he does not fear that he may get punished for telling the truth.

Overreacting

If you get angry or shout at small things, then the child thinks that it is not right to get into trouble by telling the truth. In such a situation, he makes lies his protective shield. He thinks hiding things is better than telling anything related to his life.

Ignoring the child's feelings

When the child's words are ignored or not taken seriously, they start hiding their thoughts and truth. Often, knowingly or unknowingly, parents make their decision without listening to the child's thoughts or their choice and thinking. This habit of the parent starts preventing the child from speaking the truth in front of them.

Lying yourself

If the parents themselves lie to others, like saying on the phone 'I am not at home', then the child starts considering it normal and he also starts doing the same. At the same time, parents also lie to each other in front of the child many times. Seeing all this, he can include lying in his habit by considering it a normal thing.

Criticizing for every mistake

If the child does something wrong and the parents only criticize him, then the child prefers to hide the truth next time to avoid embarrassment. This is usually seen when the child gets low marks in school tests. When the parents express their unhappiness with his marks, the child avoids showing his report card to them next time and starts lying.
