Tip of the week
Lying
When under-fives lie, it's not about them being bad or naughty. It's often hard for them to tell the difference between what's real and what's not, so try not to overreact.
- Avoid making them scared of telling the truth
- Focus on what happened rather than who is to blame
- Praise them when they own up
