Patient's question:
The child in the kindergarten's lower class was scratched by other children on both sides of their eyes. I initially didn't think about asking the teacher how many times the child had been scratched, as it's inevitable for young children to do so. However, her father insisted that I tell the teacher about it. I did, but after I left, the teacher asked the daughter, and she claimed she had scratched herself. When I told the daughter that Mom won't be able to do anything for you anymore if you lie, I wonder if we can trust what children say anymore.Doctor's answer:
Children love to lie, parents need to patiently and meticulously persuade and educate them. Parents should be good at discovering problems in daily life and eliminating them at their root. Pay attention to your child's expressions, actions, and words to understand the details of what happened again, and distinguish between intentional lying and unintentional lying. Help your child infer the reasons that may lead to lying and the potential consequences, so that they can confidently admit their mistakes in a secure environment, fostering the courage to acknowledge their errors.
