Self-Esteem and Lying
Description
Spoiler alert: all children lie! And many of our children will experience self-esteem issues, so it’s really important to understand how to recognise it, and support your children through these difficult times.
Does your child lie often about silly things?
Are they not growing out of it like you thought they would?
Do their lies cause upset or consequences to others?
If you answered yes to any of these, you’re not alone!
