how can you tell a child lie?

No. You teach by example and telling children to lie about something is not teaching them right from wrong. People do it all the time though. (Although I cant see how santa claus has anything to do with it ;) Thats rather a jaded opinion). That probably has alot to do with why so many people have no conscience and society has many of its problems.\nObviously you (whomever) are doing something wrong as well if you feel the need to tell a child to lie.

depends on their age...when young if they are old enough to ask they are old enough to get a truthful simple answer without giving more than they ask for. Never ever lie.. or make up stupid stories. Above and beyond all let them know you are there to listen as well as answer

They will avert their eyes or fidget, They will also have to spend longer thinking about a lie and either provide too much detail of non at all.\nThe best thing to do is to observe them and the way they act while you know they are not lying. Then when they do lie it will be obvious to you.

Make sure to be honest and starightforward.  No parent wants to hear that something might be wrong with their child, so it will be difficult.

You should ask him directly something you know he will lie about and you have proofs about the lie. I dont think you necessarily should do it in front someone else, but tell the liar next time you catch him lying there you will tell relatives and friends about his behavour and spread all around that he is not reliable.

When without misleading someone too much they are prevented from getting hurt by a lie. Sometimes though honesty is the best policy. It depends on the person/situation.

you have to watch their facial expressions. if they cant look at you in the eye when they say it , its probably not true. or if they beat around the bush instead of answering directly they are lying there is a ton of things to look for. the only time its hard to pick out a liar is when you first meet them then you dont know how they act at all much less when they are liars so just pay attention to detail when you are talking to someone and you will see what i am saying.  hope that this helps

Everyone lies sometimes but some people lie a lot. I don't usually lie to people but I will omit telling someone something if I think it is none of their business. I think lying is learned behavior which starts in childhood and the more a child does it then it becomes part of their character when they are adult, especially if there is no incentive to be honest. It would take a lot of work for an adult who lies to become honest. It is easier to tell when a child is lying but not so easy to tell when an adult is lying unless you know them well. Since lying is subjective, I think some adults think they are telling the truth when in fact they are lying.

That is true because what does a six year child know?. They will only say what they are told to say also when it happens to be lies.For one to make charges there must be proof also and witnesses and who are the witnesses?. When the mother was only suspecting?.

To tell you the truth, I never let my child believe in santa, the tooth fairy, easter bunny or anything.  He is five years old, and he is mature for his age.  I want my son to know that although he may be lied to by the world,  he will never be lied to by his parents.

Just tell'em! Just drop by and tell'em, but make sure they won't harrass the child afterwards.

Great topic!\n\nI am amazed that there are so many adults who do not consider some of the things they say or do not say, as a lie. For instance: sometimes people make up stories and tell it for fun. It may be a hunting story, fishing story, etc. This is done as a fantasy. The important thing to remember is that if you tell the story...you and the others must identify it is not really true....or it is a lie. Another example of a lie people do not always admit as lying is...when someone states something they think is true and then discover later that it is not true. The person really should then rectify the situation and admit they said something and found out it was not the truth. When a purposeful untruth is told, it is an outright lie. It is meant to deceive. This leads to disappointing others, others never really belive you and they eventually stop trusting you.  Then the time may come and you may be telling the truth...but too late...others don't believe you even when you do tell the truth. Some people actually believe that the only way a lie is told is in that manner. Not true! You can lie with your actions. You may cause a person to believe something not true by acting a certain way. (Example; child breaks a vase and throws it out and pretends not to know anything about it.) A lie can be done by being silent. You may cause someone to believe something by saying nothing. (Example: a mother asks the children who broke a window, and all the children know, but no-one tellls anything).The cycle of lying usually continues when one lies. The next thing one knows is they lie to cover another lie and so on. Most intelligent people, know when someone is lying to them. It doesn't change anything...except the credibility of the one who lies. Another form of lying is not telling a complete truth. Any form of not telling a complete truth or an admission of a complete truth in words or actions is a lie. \nI honestly do not intentionally lie. However, about two weeks ago we had company and this person asked me something and I did not want to go into it so I lied. When the company left. my husband said to me ..."why did you lie?" I reallly had to stop and think about it. I am a woman of value. I work hard to practice what I believe in. I am an honest person. I try hard to use tact and not lie. I usually would reply to someone who asked a personal question that I did not feel like answering with something like...why do you ask? I usually try to find an answer that will not offend the other person, but will also allow me to keep my personal life personal without lying. Sometimes, I like everyone find myself in a place I don't like to be. I feel dirty or shamed when I do that. Long story short...I felt guilty and called the person up and explained it. No one is perfect. There is not a sole alive who has not told a lie at one time or another. I can honestly say I do not lie on a daily basis, but sometimes I do find myself bordering the ethical line. I want people to trust me, I strive to be honest and keep integrity....but it is a daily struggle to be in tune with complete and open honesty!

No there is not.\nIn all of my years of lying and being lied to in various walks of life I've learned that everybody lies, everybody gives it away, and detecting a lie is more detective work than "dead give-away".\nYes there are lots of bodily quirks to pick up on when someone lies. These (like the eyes for example) reflexes really do not indicate a person is lying. They rather indicate that a person is nervous. Very often that is because they are lying but sometimes it is for any one of many other reasons. For example a murderer might pass a lie detector and even fool seasoned detectives, but you might fidget and cry and do all sorts of strange things if the cops stop at your door and ask where you were yesterday even if you were home quietly minding your own business.\nThe truth is to get to the bottom of a lie you have to be aware of what a particular person does when they lie. To do this you must be calculated and patient. \n1.)Wait to be told a lie that you know is a lie and begin to note any significant or slightly unusual behaviours (such as body language and voice tone out of the ordinary).\n2.) Engage the liar in a conversation where you request as much detail about the lie as you can. Make careful note of body language etc., and note the details of the conversation. Sound interested and convinced and you should get enough info for later.\n3.) Be patient. Find more proof.\n4.) You have to wait until the "LIE" surfaces a second time. You can elicit this it can be in the same conversation.\n5.) Make sure you heard right, ask them to repeat the lie. Make note of all body language etc.\n6.) Make a note of time date or other significant information at the time so you can remember enough to be certain for yourself that you know they have been caught.\n7.) Now this is where this all pays off. You sit your liar down and YOU initiate the conversation about any suspected lie. This time you start talking like your convinced and get them to repeat the suspected lie yet again. Watch the body laguage the whole time. You do not ever have to confront them.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThis is a little trick meant to find out what a PARTICULAR PERSON does when they lie. It is meant to help determine the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN nervousness due to lying and other nervous behaviour one might exhibit when they are not lying. It is not meant to find out a lie. The liar always gives it away you just have to figure it out for your own liar.\n\nYou need a lie you know is a lie and they must think you believe it. The more you talk about the lie you know the more you have to watch and see. The more lies you do it with the more accurate you will become. This is something you can do dozens of times with a coworker or nieghbor before you confront them. The more often you do it before confrontation (if you choose confrontation) the more likely  you will be accurate. \nIf you make all of this happen (which could be done with someone you know but probably not a single encounter with a stranger) you should have a solid list of reflexes, behaviours, etc, that you can apply to ONLY THAT PERSON\nYou should be able to have no more than 95% odds that you can detect A person lying. If you want to keep your friends and family don't do this to them.\nYou will be surprised (and not too happy) to know who is really lying to you and about what. But I hope this helps and hope the lie is not too big. \nREMEMBER THE HUMAN MIND IS INCREDIBLE AND NOTHING IS FOOL PROOF.
