SHINING WITH ADHD 

EPISODE #154: Why Kids with ADHD Lie and What to Do About It

The Childhood Collective

5/1/2024

Most of the time, we don’t need to see growing noses to know if our kids are telling us a lie. We catch the lie, and then all the feelings come. We might feel angry, hurt, worried, or downright annoyed. Navigating our own reactions can be tricky. As parents, it's important to keep in mind that our kids have differences in their executive functioning. We want to empower you with 4 strategies you can use to navigate lying (and encourage honestly!) in your children with ADHD. 

We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you.

After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
