Lying requires the brain to manipulate this information and related to brain areas that enable higher-order thinking. It is common that approximately 20 percent of children aged two years lying, nearly 50 percent of children aged 3 years old lying, and almost 90 percent of children aged four years lying. Further, the age of children is often a lie is 12 years, when almost every child to say a lie, and at the age of 16 years, lie began to decrease. Therefore, only 70 percent of children aged 16 years who is lying.

According to researcher Dr. Kang Lee, Director of the Institute of Child Study University of Toronto, parents should not worry if their child is lying. “Children who have better cognitive development, lied to cover their trail. They might be a banker in the future, “he said. In their study, Lee and his team tested 1200 children between the ages of 2-16 years. The researchers asked children to sit in a room with hidden surveillance cameras.

The soft toys placed behind them, and when the researcher left the room, they were asked to not see the toy. The result, 9 of 10 children a camera caught a peek of the toys, but when asked, they denied it.

While the older children, they were given the exam paper and forbidden to see the answers in the back of the paper. When they peeked answer “Akeman Presidius” for fake question, “Who discovered Tunisia?,” They say knew the answer because it has understood history lessons.

Many parents may wonder whether his little liar when you grow up would be a cheater. Experts say there is no evidence that these fears are true. In fact, little caught lying should be a moment for educating. “You were not supposed to hit or yelled at, but you must speak the importance of honesty and a negative value of the lie,” said Lee.
