In a video on X shared by @xghana_, the paedologist said even though it is not right to encourage lies when children are untruthful, it is an indication that their brains are working.
“When a child tells a lie, it’s a sign of intelligence. You should be happy when your child at four years old tells a lie.”
“It is part of development. The brain, as we have as they are growing, is developing. The fact that the child can be able to see blue and tries to convince you that it is red tells you how the brain is working. It is telling you the way the child has been able to switch the truth into a lie. This tells you that the brain is actually gaining intelligence and developing. We are not saying you should encourage lies,” she added.
She indicated that while a child telling a lie is a good developmental sign, it must be handled so it does not become a habit.
