About this listen

 When your child lies about homework, screen time, or where they’ve been, it can feel like a punch to the gut. But what if lying isn’t a sign of bad character, and instead a normal part of growing up? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan look at lying from a developmental standpoint and help parents understand what’s really going on when kids bend the truth. A request for privacy doesn’t always mean something sneaky, and your response can make all the difference in whether your child learns to be honest. 💡 YOU’LL LEARN: - Why kids lie (and what their lies may be trying to protect) - Ways to make truth-telling feel safe in your home - How to model integrity and forgiveness when mistakes happen - What it really means for kids to develop a healthy conscience Originally released in 2021, this encore episode feels just as timely today for parents navigating honesty, trust, and growing independence.
