punishment of telling Lie

Depends on what the lie is about. if its a little fib then i guess you should sit them down and explain that if he lies about things you will not be able to believe him when he does tell the truth. if its a BIG WHOPPER of a lie, or about something important.. i dont know what i would do, maybe punish him by taking something away from him untill he tells the truth and apoligizes for lying. everyday that he doesn't take something else away. i think all kids good or bad lie at some point in their lives, they just dont know any better till you teach them. better to teach them as soon as they start so it doesn't become a habit!

I think the punishment for lying depends on how old the child is. If they are under the age of 5, you need to explain to them that lying is a bad thing to do and encourage them to tell the truth about things. Once they are school-age, they should know it is wrong to lie. I would not hit a child for lying. Instead, I would punish them by not letting them watch TV, play with their friends, or not letting them do something else that they like to do. And how serious the lie they told was would determine how long they would be punished.

I do not think one can achieve any thing by punishing a child. The parents should tell inspiring stories, incorporating in the story, what happens to a guy when he tells a lie. Slowly repeat different stories which should have a moral ending that one should not steal, one should not tell a lie, one should not be dishonest. This will have a long lasting bearing on child, than punishing the child.

No,i will not beat him at all.I will talk to him/her so close and tell some story about telling the truth and also tell a story on telling a lie.Then i make him/her to know the what is power of truth.

My oldest son and daughter are going through this now. We teach them God doesn't like lies. Then most of the time we explain how we know it's a lie. Then we tell them no matter what a lie should never be told because they will have to be punished for the lie and what they have done. If that doesn't work then they write a hundred times I will not lie to my parents or anyone else knowing it's wrong to tell a lie.

when i want to know if my daughter is lyig i ask to see her hand. i once told her that when she lies to me a line will appear that only i can see on her palm. if i had no clue wether or not she was teling the truth i would know by the fact that she will not show me her hand. if i already knew tat she was telling a lie i simply ask to see her hand an then remind her of the consequences of lying to me. I first tell her 1. lying is a very naughty thing its hurts peoples feeling when you lie to them. 2. when you lie to people the will never believe anything that you have to say so when you lie about micheal hitting you (her cousin) next time that he does it you and u tell us we will not believe you. 3. if she still insists that she is telling the truth and i know that she is lyig i give her a list of options like, taking away her gameboy for the night, 5 mnutes in the corner, bd right after dinner, or no chuckie cheese or what ever treat i promised her for the next day.

i would go for the second option.. beating a child will no way help you.. make him/her understand that you always teach good for him... that would really help your child to become more mature and he/she will start loving and taking your words

Iam following the 2 options, that is whenever my child tell lie I will ask him why he has told and advise him the impact of telling lies. Nowadays he has minimized telling lies and hope he will continue the same in the future too.

I will explain to him that he should not lie but if he is still lying then I will take a step further and I will say to him that he is grounded for 1 week and that he will not be able to play with his friends or able to watch any tv or games for the whole one week.

i think we had to explain the child not to tell lie and also give him warning to not do so in future ....

i will bring my child into confidence. .that i wont harm u . tell me the truth .. beacause beating a child is not the matter of the solution ..

first of all, beating wont do any good if child do a lie. you should better tell him in a somewhat alibi manner that you know about his lie. dont pinpoint him. cite an example what would happen to a person who lies and tell him some good-to-believe happens when they caught lying.

The first thing I would do is that I would give my child a chance so that whenever he sees a good situation he could come to me and speak the truth and if he doesnt that I would emotionally blackmailed him that "I trust you alot and you broke my trust if you did something more bad than that and if you told me I would definitely help you but you broke up my trust" and stuff like that.

I would talk to him why he did and tell him not to tell lies here after. At already I am doing to my son who is 4 yr old. I found that instead of beating it better to go and talk and warn him that better

i will bring my child into confifence.. that dont tell infront of me .ever tell the truth i wont harm u .. beating a child is no that solution of the matter..

My personal opinion if my child told me a lie, I would explain why lying is not good and why. And my form of punishment would be taking away things that means the most to him such as his game systems, pc etc..In order to get them back, I would have him earn them back one by one...More chores, more reading, and more communication. I feel if my child lies to me about something we need to find out why he would ever think he would have to lie to me....

i would tell him that i know about his lie so he must said truth if he repeats it i would tell him again then also if he does not listen me i would beat him

Well it depends on person to person, but first i would like to give my child a chance to improve himself/herself and if he repeats this again then i would beat him/her and will teach him/her a lesson that what should be the punishment if he continue telling lie.

one thing that we can do the that thing that can he/she can not be told lie

If i found out my child was lying i would tell him that i know he is lying and give him 1 chance to tell the truth and then we have a talk and then he would be grounded
