sometimes kids think they can change things just by saying they happened differently. she will eventually learn that that doesn't work. don't ask her why. she doesn't know any more than you do, and there's a good chance her reason won't make any more sense than what she to get you to ask "why?" in the first place. when she makes up a story about something important, explain to her how what she's done is wrong. other than that, let it go with a "you know that's not true." or maybe sometimes, if her story is especially fanciful, say something like, "really? then what?" and let her stretch that little imagination of hers.

At two years they don't understand the concept of "lying" she isn't lying. She doesn't understand the difference between fact and fiction that is YOUR job, to TEACH her these things. To HER it was the dog that did just that...she may have been imagining herself to be the dog. Therefore when she was the dog she did the deed, therefore in her mind the dog did it. Remeber she is a 2 year old not a 20 year old she does not think in adult terms.

i bypass to furnish you the earnings of the doubt right here and assume which you meant to hit the 9 rather of the 0 on your quantity row. Now in case your daughter is nineteen and she or he's being sexually harrassed via her boss at artwork, she desires to tell the better-united statesa. anyplace it is she works. Why does no longer you have faith her? And in case your daughter rather is 10, you need to have faith her besides.

She's 2. It's too abstract to try and explain lying to her at this age. You be the big girl and just be patient. She'll eventually get past this stage. This is nothing to worry about.

My 4 year old does the same thing. I think that it is just a developmental thing. I just explain to him that "making up things" is not nice and that I don't like it. I would just keep explianing to her why it is not right or nice and I think that she will get over it.

My daughter blames everything on her imaginary friend...grrr. I'm about ready to try soap. Not really, but the threat of it will stop her.

When I was young I had a school couselor because I had problems with lying but you should really get to know your daughter and tell her how she was a liar just get to know her
