Femi is a young boy of six from a small town in Nigeria. He spoiled a toy in school and was confronted by his teacher.

You might have had a similar story; even your child might have done something similar to this. What will you do? Will you just leave him believing that he will change has he grows older.

HOW TO STOP YOUR CHILD FROM LYING
MAKE YOUR CHILD BELIEVE THAT ALL LIES ARE BAD
Some people believe that there is a white lie which is good and there is a black lie which is bad. If you are also an advocate of this philosophy, then it will be difficult for you to help your child who lies. Human has this psychological ability to turn something that is bad to good. All that is required; is to consistently assure yourself that this thing that people believe is bad is good for me.
This psychology ability of human goes through three stages:
The first stage is; wishing that something that is bad is good
The second stage is; believing that what is bad is not all that bad
The final stage is; totally convinced that what is bad is good
