Question
My son often takes things that don’t belong to him. He takes them, takes them, and never admits to it. He knows the right thing to do when you talk to him, but he never seems to learn. He especially loves to lie, and when you talk to him, he agrees, but he always makes mistakes again after a short time.
Answer
I’m glad to help you out. In a child’s mind, there is no concept of ‘stealing.’ Sometimes they just want to satisfy their curiosity. Children’s lying is often due to the lack of trust from their parents. Therefore, the child’s problem is often the parent’s problem. At six years old, children are egocentric, so parents should look for opportunities to praise their children frequently and avoid excessive criticism and scolding. As long as you give your child enough trust, it will definitely help.
