Some of the things that you should be careful about are to make sure that you do not punish them severely. You know your child better than anyone. Thus you would know how much accountability they can handle. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you punish them severely, they will ensure that you are left out of the loop next time if something happens. By do not scare them, you are ensuring they will come back to you if something happens in the future. It is very crucial to build trust with your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The child of this age is still in the process of figuring out the consequences they are going through and why in the first place they happen. Therefore, you must work this with your children and help them process it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another that you can do for your child is to teach them why it is not in their best interest to lie. Ensure that your child knows that you do not like being lied to. It should be that clear. It will take some time, but eventually, your kid will understand and will start telling you the truth as it happened. Understand that it is all about being truthful with each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arnall said, “It may take a few times, but when your child comes to you with the truth, and you don’t freak out, she will learn to come more often.”\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the reasons why the child will never learn to be honest because the parents are not setting a good example. As previously stated above, if you lie to your child, they will learn the same from you. Children are bound to follow what they are parents do in their life. “It may take a few times, but when your child comes to you with the truth, and you don’t freak out, she will learn to come more often.”<\/em> Judy Arnall.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find out that your child is lying, figure out the reason behind it, and then find out the solution. Do not merely overlook the lie. You are not setting a good example for your child. You are teaching them, honesty is of no worth and that if you can hide from the consequences that you should do that instead. This is not a good idea at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teach them problem-solving skills. It will help them in the future. Moreover, when your child tells you the truth, show some appreciation, and instill good behavior inside them. There is no better feeling than knowing that your parents appreciate you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your child know how much you love them. There is nothing better to reinforce good behavior than to show appreciation towards your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
