Today we discuss a beautiful book by Sally Clarkson about kids who don't fit into our expectations. Kids who think differently, learn differently, respond differently in life. In the context maintain our relationships, we also discuss kids who lie...the different types of lying and the different reasons kids might lie...and, most importantly - what we can do about it! Lying is tricky because while we want our kids to be honest, we don't want to get angry when they aren't, so we don't perpetuate the problem.
