Strict Parenting Can Turn Kids Into Liars

                Strict parenting can turn children into adept liars as they do not feel safe telling the truth. Psychotherapist says a child should not be solely to blame for lying as the parenting style has a big impact on their ability and readiness to fib. A study, examining two schools in West Africa, one with strict rules and the other with a more laid back approach, researchers asked children to guess what object was making a noise in the game. According to game, people are asked to identify the objects by sound only, with the last one bearing no correlation to what it looks like. The researchers then left the room and on return asked the children what the object was, and if they peeked. Researchers found that the number of students from the relaxed school who lied and told the truth was roughly on par with studies from other schools. But those form the strict school were quick to lie, and did it “very effectively”.

                With the school cracking down hard on lying, it created a “machine” for churning out very effective deceivers. If a child lies to get out of trouble then that lie is not all down to the child. It’s a co-created situation. The atmosphere has been produced whereby the child does not feel safe telling the truth. So you can’t condemn the child for lying. Explaining the psychological effect further, researcher said, “We do our kids no favours at all when we persecute them for lying. We can be curious about the lie, we can be interested in it and look at our part in it. But being draconian and rigid about it is not going to make a situation better and change our kid’s mentality.
