🎧 In today’s episode, we explore a topic every child deals with at some point: Lying — and why we might do it. From fibs about homework to stories that “just fell out,” we’re helping kids (ages 5–10) understand the big feelings behind small lies.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

🧠 Why lying often comes from fear, guilt, or a wish to feel safe — not because your child is being “bad.”

🎭 How pretend play, fantasy, and imagination blur the line between truth and “wish” for kids.

📖 Gentle, kid-friendly stories that show how lying is usually a signal of a deeper need — like connection or independence.

🤗 A heartwarming example of a grown-up responding with empathy, making space for honesty and emotional safety.

🎯 A simple challenge to help your child notice those truth-telling moments and feel proud of their bravery.

Listening together will help your child feel more confident about telling the truth — and help you respond with curiosity instead of punishment, building trust and connection in the process. 💖👂
