Lying is not a topic frequently discussed. If you're a parent with a child who lies, it's not something you'll probably discuss at coffee break or with your doctor. If you find yourself with this tendency, again, it's unlikely you'll share it with anyone.

 

This month our topic is lying and some of its root causes. The video below will outline several underlying causes from a brain skill functioning perspective for lying. I encourage you to also read the blogs below which will go into more detail. Unless the root causes of this behaviour is addressed it's unlikely the symptom will change. Disciplining a child is not usually successful in this area. Find out why.

Does your child or student get caught lying? This first in a series of articles looking at the root causes of lying. It's not just about morals, honesty and willpower. more...
Have you ever told a lie or half-truth and then experienced the energy and focus it takes to remember what you said? Are there times when is a lie not a lie? more... 
Another underlying cause of lying is the brain's ability to make 'yes and no' type judgements. When this skill is overdeveloped, a person is driven to be right or appear right. That person often will make a snap decision or response and then need to back it up or repeat the lie. more...
Has your child ever told you that you said something you're sure you never said? Does your child 'make things up' and is convinced they're right?  more...

Study Tip 
Learn to say no!

 

A friend of yours wants you to watch a movie with them tonight. You already have plans for tomorrow night and tonight you were going to study for that test. Learning to politely saying no is a learned skill and can greatly reduce stress. Saying no will free up time for the things creating that stress and reduce procrastination.

We are excited to bring you these great resources and information. Please feel free to share these articles on Facebook or other social media. You never know who may need the information.

If you are not familiar with who we are and how we help people move forward, or perhaps know a friend that could use our service, check out our website:  www.GetYourBreakthrough.com
