26、According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children, preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons.【1】 Their upsetting situations could include failing a class. and other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers.
【2】. This is not to say that lying is acceptable, but the less parents take it personally, the more they can calmly and constructively help their child. Children and teens who fall into anxiety easily will use lying as an unhealthy coping strategy.
What should a parent or caregiver do? Try to keep in mind that kids can be quite self-absorbed and they often don’t understand how hurtful lies can be. With this in mind, here are a few tips to help promote truthfulness in your child at any age.
【3】 If you overreact, then you are just building a barrier between you and your child, Calmly discuss or lecture about honesty and dishonesty and why they chose to lie. 【4】Your understanding may not be able to stop your teen from creating those everyday lies, but you can convey that there are other options available.
Keep in mind that addressing lying behaviours is a process not a quick fix.【5】 But if you keep your own emotion positively, your child or teen is more likely to eventually open up.
While in the short term you may just get a shrug, keeping yourself calm to create a sense of emotional safety will help your voice of truth and reason be heard throughout their lives.
A.Get them to know that you understand them or their situations.
B.Try to seek some help from experts who understand them well.
C.Some kids may take a while before they feel safe to level with you.
D.When I coach parents, I help them learn not to take lies from their kids personally.
E.They try to avoid getting into trouble or lie because they are too upset to talk about painful experiences.
F.Lying is not only harmful to kids then selves, but also it hurts people around them.
G.The best you can do as a parent is to keep yourself from overreacting to your child’s lies.
27、When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of the poison. They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the poor wouldn’t eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.
Soon it became political and popular. Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didn’t care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she didn’t know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didn’t know how to deal with the situation.
One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.
“I’m sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution.
