The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place,” said LEE. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.
“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their longterm interests,” said Heyman. “It is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them.
However, parents should be concerned about the possible longterm negative consequences to children's beliefs about honesty.”
