Teaching children to tell the truth, plus other story ideas

Teaching children to tell the truth. Teaching children how to be honest can potentially be as easy as teaching them to tie their shoelaces according to Victoria Talwar , from McGill's Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology. She has spent over 20 years doing research in the field, and says, in her new book, The Truth about Lying , that teaching children to tell the truth is a skill like any other and can be taught. The teaching comes down to 3 main things: talking with children about honesty, recognizing and acknowledging children's honesty, and modelling honesty. The researcher believes that the way that parents talk to their children about honesty can foster their moral reasoning, as well as consideration of other people's feelings and perspectives.
