What's really happening when children lie

Have you ever had a child lie straight to your face? It's a strange sensation, especially when you've just caught them out. No one wants their children to be liars, but parenting educator and author Maggie Dent says that there's a lot going on when kids lie, and it's not necessarily bad. Maggie explains the different kinds of lies, and how we can understand what's really going on when our kids are telling tales. Maggie's podcast is called Parental as Anything.
