#34 - Dealing with Dishonesty
What do you do when you catch your kid lying to you? This is one of the biggest, most common dilemma parents face. In this episode Billy & Joy talk about why this topic is so emotional and review four approaches to confronting the lies.
The quick four:
- Set right expectations
- Execute productive reactions
- Foster communication
- Be intentional with consequences
Talk about this:

What might be the problem behind the lie?
What do I need to change in the way I approach lying?
