I stayed in my friend's house for 1 week when i went to south Vietnam. They have a little daughter, she is 5 years old. Everything was so nice except that I recognized that the little daughter often tell lie.
The first situation I got is when we all were in a living room, she told to her mom that I beat her, you guys know my feeling at that time, I was very confused and didn't know what to say but it is lucky for me when her friend told the truth that I didn't do.
And I saw many times later, she does lie many things else. I told my friend that she should do something for her kid because it is not nice when a kid often tell lie. But she also doesn't know how to change it.
Anyone who has experience about this problem? share with us, please.

Childhood days the the time for every one to learn the little lesson. A grown up person cannot learn such lessons when he become old. So make sure that each and every one has the lessons in his childhood days.
You must never become angry at him for his mistakes. You must be a good friend for him and as a good friend you must correct. So that he will learn those lessons quite easily.

Make sure that you do the bad habits like drinking and smoking in front of them. There are some chances for imitating you. So keep them away from children .

Well. once I read an article by one famous doctor. He had written that children started to lie from the age of 7 months. As all of us know, small kids used to cry without any reason, when we go to them or hold them, they stop crying. It is because they need our attention.
Kids at the age 4/5 yrs dont lie intentionally.It is not a serious thing to worry about. But yes we should take care of it and explain them not to do...but without scolding...sometimes kids lie in the fear of scolding. So this is 1 of the reasons.

Hello friend,
No I am not experienced. But I think that you can say him to a cute voice. Then you tell him it is wrong. Don't tell him with a loud voice.
Have a nice day.

I think your friend should talk to her daughter friendly but it should be like a counseling.She should create a clear imprint on her daughter's mind that lying is not good for her and also for others.As a mom she can do it.Talking is the only way and only her parents(especially mom) can do it,prevent her from lying
