This training looks at lying in children through both Scripture and brain development, helping us understand why some children struggle with truth-telling, especially those impacted by complex developmental trauma.
We will explore:
• How lying typically develops in children
• How trauma can shape patterns of dishonesty
• Confabulation and distorted thinking
• Practical ways to respond that guide children toward truth and responsibility
When we understand both the heart and the developmental factors at play, we are better equipped to shepherd children wisely.
