This is a YouTube video titled "Handling the situation with care, you can teach child the importance of honesty, build bond of trust" created in August 2024. The content provides advice on how parents can respond calmly and supportively when their child lies, emphasizing creating a non-judgmental communication environment to foster honesty and trust.

What to do if your child is lying or hiding. Let's understand that children don't want to lie, but they start to lie because they are scared to tell the truth because they feel that you will scold them or they think that you will feel bad if they tell you the truth. So they lie to try and protect you from feeling bad. So when your child lies, don't worry at all, don't shout at them, don't judge them and definitely don't call your child a liar. Stay calm and tell your child you can tell me the truth, I will still love you. Also try to observe what is it that you can change so that they don't feel scared to come and share the truth with you. To stop the child from lying, instead of correcting the child, you need to create an honest and non judgmental two way communication channel between you and your child. Share this with someone who may need it.
