When providing anticipatory guidance to parents about their preschool son who was caught in a lie, what would the nurse emphasize?
A) "You need to determine the reason for lying before punishing the child."
B) "Lying should never be tolerated and the child should be punished."
C) "The misbehavior is usually more serious than the lying itself."
D) "It is okay to become angry when dealing with the child's lying."
Ans: A
Lying is common in preschool children and occurs for a variety of reasons, such as fearing punishment, getting carried away by imagination, or imitating what another person has done. Regardless, the parent should ascertain the reason for the lying before punishing the child. The child also needs to learn that the lying is usually far worse than the misbehavior. Parents need to remain calm and serve as a role model of an even temper.
