Why do young children tell lies?

Many children in the early grades try out lies to avoid trouble, protect someone's feelings or test what grown-ups know. It is a common part of growing up. Staying calm and making it safe to tell the truth usually helps more than a big reaction.

How can RepeatWatch help talk about honesty?

Set an A–B loop on the moment in "The Empty Pot" when Ping brings his empty pot to the Emperor, then pause and ask what your child would do. Repeat one keeps a favorite song playing, and Stop after ends it after a set number of loops.

Frequently asked questions

Which videos are for parents?

The two Child Mind Institute clips at the end, "Kids and Lying - Why It Happens" and "Kids and Lying - What to Do About It", are for grown-ups. They explain common reasons children lie and calm ways to respond.

Why is this playlist shorter than others?

We only include videos from established children's channels and child-health organisations, and fewer honesty videos meet that bar. We would rather keep the list short than add videos we cannot stand behind.
