Teenagers lie. But don't we all? What motivates us to lie and why do we do it? As parents, we see lying as a moral issue, whereas teens see it as a practical issue - getting out of something or getting to do something forbidden. How do you detect deception and what do you do when your teens lie? Communication is key. Understanding the role of growth and change in rules may be one facet, as well as recognizing that strict parenting isn't the answer. Let's have a conversation about lying, deception and our teens, as well as tap into some self reflection on where you may be looking for external validation in your life - or where you feel like an imposter.
