Description
Do you have a child who lies frequently? Or when in trouble or stressed? Or perhaps a child who can’t seem to tell the difference between truth and lies? How can you tell when is a lie not really a lie?
In this workshop, you will learn about 4 types of lying behaviors that are common in children with trauma histories: developmentally normal “story-telling”, confabulation, distorted thinking, and survival lying. You will also learn specific steps you can take to both prevent and address lying behaviors in children and teens, using strategies based on familiar trauma-based parenting approaches including TBRI, PACE, and ABCs of Behavior. You will receive a toolkit of prompts to help you assess and individualize your responses to meet the specific needs, strengths, and history of your particular child.
