Hey, I'm not a psychologist or anything. I am just a mother and a grandmother and I say the age of the child should be considered carefully before you try to make a child admit a lie. Children less than 6 or 7 don't have the thought processes to realize a lie. You may say "oh, yeah, this kid knew what he was saying was not truth." I just don't think they see it as a lie, but more as a way to make things the way they want them. I had terrible trouble with telling lies as a kid, and it took some hurtful, embarrassing situations to make me grow up. I also had one child who would look you in the eye and lie. I got to the point of telling the child, "Whether you can admit it or not, I know you are lying." Leave it at that. There may discipline coming for them but admitting you are a liar is something he needs to admit to himself, not you. This goes for teenagers too. Maybe the most for teenagers, because they need to figure out who they are, and if you always lie to others and to yourself you will never find out.

What makes parents think their kids are lying?
The physical signs that a child might be lying include the avoidance of eye contact, fidgeting and an overall diminished demeanor. Parents may also think their kids are lying based on past experience in which the child lied under similar circumstances. If the kid is the only possible suspect for an action she denies, then obviously her parent will think she is lying.Recent research has shown, however, that parents are not very good at detecting the lies of their children, or that in many cases suspect the truth and are unwilling to admit it to themselves.
