Thank everything holy we’ve got books! There are so many amazing titles that help adults navigate social emotional topics with kids, and lying is no exception. Whether little ones are struggling with exaggeration, lying to fit in, covering mistakes, or even managing brutal honesty, there is a book to impart a lesson and spark a discussion. As a society, we are moving away from a “right and wrong” method of teaching morality. Kids are being explicitly taught to unpack their emotions and gently directed to consider other viewpoints. This is, frankly, a huge achievement. Below, I’ve gathered 10 books about lying for kids that can help you start these conversations with the little humans in your life. Hopefully you found some books about lying for kids that can help you start important discussions! Looking for more books to spark social emotional growth?
