Lying is such a trigger point for so many parents! As a parent we can feel a lot of things which fuels the fire in terms of our reactions:a sense of betrayal, insecurity, worry, and most of all fear that we must be doing something wrong as a parent.

But before we react with punishment, watch this video for an explanation of why your child is lying and what you can say to decrease the frequency of the lies and reconnect with your child in meaningful ways so they learn the error of their ways and move forward with integrity.

This video is presented by Tammy Schamuhn, a Registered Child Psychologist, Co-Founder of the Institute of Child Psychology, best-selling author of the Parenting Handbook [https://myparentinghandbook.com/].

Feeling like you can’t get to your child? At your wits end with disruptive behaviour? Feel that your children don’t listen to anything you say? Wondering if there is something more effective than yelling, time-outs, or physical discipline? Feeling overwhelmed as a parent and aren’t sure what else to do? …or maybe you are just trying to look for ways to be the best parent you can be while honoring the relationship with your child.

Parenting is a non-stop responsibility, and you’re right in the middle of it! When your kids misbehave, it’s all too easy to respond by getting big, mean, and loud. Maybe you’ve tried to be thoughtful and intentional in responding to misbehavior. Yet you keep returning to the same ingrained patterns. It’s hard to break the negative cycles! Our course is here to give you concrete strategies backed by neuroscience and developmental psychology that not only work, but IMPROVE the relationship you have with your child
