The fact that a child is nervous and avoids the questions that are asked, can denote that there is a lie.
Children are pure innocence, especially in their first years of life. Over time they change, evolve, absorb and imitate performances and attitudes that they see around them. There comes a time when children lie. Do we know how to differentiate when they do it? In this article we give some keys.
The innocence of children
In children there is no evil or kinks. Children are pure and often act out of instinct, imitation, ignorance, lack of understanding or pasotism given their young age. There comes a time when parents fear certain behaviors such as lying. Each parent knows their child better than anyone else and is able to detect gestures, actions or words that are different than usual. There are certain clues that can help and be a common denominator in many children.
Parents try to be a good example for their children and act and react to certain situations in a correct way that catches up with them. Not only does one's own character and personality influence behavior, but the environment is an essential part and largely determines future actions. The child is a sponge, and therefore he will see and copy. Parents who lie to their children or their partner will cause the child to tend to seek a parallel path.
The lie in children. Signs
When the child is still very young, about 3 years old, he lies without knowing the meaning of his action.
The child begins to lie without knowing the meaning of his action. As with any test, investigate and want to know the reaction of the other and their facts. Over time he realizes that by lying he achieves something better, he can get rid of scolding above all. And a little later he will show guilt and regret because his age will make him understand it. It can be frustrating for the father to find himself in an uncomfortable situation for both parties.
- Talk: The best tactic to learn more about children is talk to them, ask them and inquire about their wishes, thoughts and actions throughout the day. Know their tastes, friendships and ways of doing it can give you many ideas about what is upsetting you or how you are strange.
- The child does not stop moving: If at the moment of telling something he looks away and moves constantly, it is an indication that something is not going well, it does not show itself as it is, and therefore lies. He is nervous and makes it evident without being able to avoid it. Does not respond when asked or evasively.
- When telling the story, he does not adequately relate his gestures: The child may be telling something and not accompanying the information with facial expressions or body movements. The child bites his lip, touches his face, laughs, gets nervous and he is not relaxed. The little one tells something in a different way than he normally does. With this, the father can become suspicious and try to get more information or details that may give him away.
- Some lies are easier to discover than others: False truths that have to do with tasks or duties that have been entrusted to you only need to be checked. Other are certainly incomprehensible and implausible.
- His room: When the son is small it is acceptable for certain things to be found among your personal belongings, toys, clothes ..., which may be a small trap. Being small, parents take charge and supervise everything he does and has, so there would be no talk of violating his privacy, if not of responsibility for his age.
