Lying and Stealing

Lying and Stealing

Help for Parents Dealing with Deceit and Dishonesty in Their Kids

At some point, nearly every parent faces it: a child who lies, or a child who takes something that isn’t theirs. Is it just a phase of childhood — or is it a deeper heart issue? In this listener-favorite episode, we dig into a biblical, practical approach to lying and stealing: how to respond in the moment, how to shepherd your child’s heart rather than just the behavior, and how to keep your relationship intact while you do it. This conversation features Israel and Brook Wayne sharing scripture and hard-won parenting experience.
