After going to different sites and reading a few diet pill reviews, I gave my computer a rest. It’s been a while that my partner, I mean my computer has been turned off. I usually put it in hibernation mode. And this is the day of its rest. However, it creates chaos to my two young sons. They have been pushing each other on whom will ask me to turn it on so they can play games. I clearly instructed them that I will let it take a rest for the day. And they don’t seem to understand that, which brings me headache.

Persistent lies are built on a foundation of little lies that have worked for the child in the past. The child has learned that false statements are effective ways to minimize embarrassment, avoid punishment, gain attention, and protect self-esteem. Here are some ways to intervene and hopefully stop behavior before it’s too late.
Set the example. Always tell the truth and avoid little white lies.

• Teach your child, through role-playing, the value of telling the truth. Praise them when they tell the truth.
• Role-play the possible and harmful consequences of lying. Logical consequences need to be in place.
• Do not accept excuses for lying. Lying is not acceptable and well not be tolerated.
• Kids should understand the upsetting result of lying and should apologize for it. Children should be part of the solution. Ask them what they are prepared to do as a result of the lie. Avoid lectures and quick, irrational decisions.
• Children often lie to keep their parents or teacher happy. They need to know that you value the truth much more than a small act of misbehavior. Remind them that you are upset with their action, and not with them.
• If your child lies persistently, keep in mind that it took him a long time to become a master of distorting the truth. You must patiently understand that changes will also take time.
