Original Message A study published in the International Journal of Psychology found that 84 percent of parents in the United States lie to their children to make them behave. When lies are told to children it gets the clinical description of “instrumental lying".

The most common lie told by parents occurs when a child is having a tantrum in public and the parent says he or she will walk away (abandon them) and leave the child if the kid does not behave.

Another common lie is the false promise of buying a requested toy, treat, or other item if the child behaves the way they want them to.

Parents lie the most about food, spending money and misbehavior, according to the study.

Parents in the United States also lied more about fictional characters such as Santa Claus and the tooth fairy compared to other countries.

In short parents are no better than pedophiles at lying to kids to get them to behave and act a certain way!

IMO All parents need to go to parenting school and be certified to become a parent before being allowed to become parents!
