Is there a Pinocchio in your child?

Hi Hi Moms,

Here's the thing, remember Pinnochio ? Yes we all do and he did stay with us all through our childhood and as adults. The story was super ! Pinocchio was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamed of becoming a real boy , But are all you Moms who have given birth to the real boys and girls now finding them going through the adventures of Pinnocchio?
If the answer is yes, simply remember that all children have the tendency to lie; but how often is the question and to what extent should it be tolerated becomes another one. Children starting from age three are known to lie every two hours and above four, it gets worse! So how do we handle this hurtful experience when the love, joy and pride of your life is caught lying?
 Step one is figure out why? Is it attention or they are worried they are in trouble with you. The main cause is the child not wanting to face the consequences of his act and you maybe a role model ! Ouch, yes but the truth hurts so each time you are tempted to avoid situations and lie think twice. Children first learn from you when you do simple things as lie about how old your child is when you purchase tickets for their merry go round ride. Be aware ! Always encourage truthfulness .
Getting back to our main character Pinocchio who is prone to telling lies and fabricating stories for various reasons. Pinocchio has been called an icon of modern culture, why? because the natural instinct to always be the best is within the child. As a Mom, keep in mind to encourage truth and tell the truth, handle situations calmly and never accuse. The most important thing is to love and understand your child. Be connected and be attached not forcefully or over protectively. Love them the way you want to be loved; that is with respect.
And of course we Moms need to be there to remind them the end of the story as Pinocchio had wonderful time in the land of play and lies  till the Squirrel tells him that boys who do nothing but play, lie and never work always grow into donkeys then he is sold to a circus and is trained to do all kinds of tricks. Got the drift !?

Good Luck!
