Your 2-Year-Old: Why Preschoolers Lie

		Your child is 2 years old.   Wrong age?

		Hello from BabyCenter! Why Preschoolers Lie   Your maturing preschooler probably gives you plenty of reason to feel proud: when he remembers to say "thank you," for example, or gives you an empathetic hug if he sees you're sad. So you may be thrown for a loop the first time your child tells a bald-faced lie. It's not deviance. An active imagination and a tendency to forget what happened ten minutes ago explain away most lying in this age group.

Though it sounds like a crazy idea, we headed out at her naptime and it actually went really well. I brought her blankie, and she just sat on my lap and snuggled. I was amazed at how much of the movie she took in, too. — Allison Visit your child's birth club » Have a great week! Linda Murray Editor in Chief and a BabyCenter mom Advertisement
