"Lying is developmentally appropriate," Ailen Arreaza, executive director of Parents Together, explained. "When a toddler or a 4-year-old lies, it's frustrating for the parent, but it's perfectly normal. It means that your kid's brain is developing in the way that it should be."
"Often teenagers tell lies because they're afraid of the consequences or they're embarrassed," Arreaza highlighted, indicating that as children grow older, their reasons for lying evolve.
