Part II: The Truth about Lying

In Part I, psychologist Kang Lee talked about the development of lying in children – when it starts, why kids lie, and whether you can tell if a child is lying.  (No you can’t tell a lot of the time!) In part 2, we continue our discussion on what actually works to prevent lying, and what happens as kids get older and become teens, then adults.  How and why do adults lie?   Dr. Lee has some research that’ll have you squirming.   A not to be missed conversation!
