The honesty or dishonesty of a 6 year old child is usually obvious. By the age of 6, the sophistication of a child's lies is not that great. Remember that a 6 year old doesn't really know very much, and may often make false statements out of ignorance rather than deceit. If a 6 year old is standing next to a broken piece of glassware, and is the only person (or creature) in the room, claiming "I didn't do it!" it is probably a lie. Children may lie out of fear. If you are a frightening parent who treats misbehavior harshly, your children will fear to tell you the truth.

My friend is telling huge lies for years now is she a compulsive liar?

She could be. But everyone tells lies. Even if you're one of the best people in the world, they still tell lies. We are all only humans. Plus, it depends on how many times she lies in a day, week, month, year. So if she lies A LOT during the course of a week or day, then yes.


If a 3 year old is is taught to tell sexual lies what will happen to him when he grows up?

If any child is taught to tell lies, period, while growing, he or she will learn to lie as an adult. Basically, bread is only as good as the ingredients used to make it, and humans are no exception. "Sexual lies" could cover a broad area or topic, so you will have to be specific when you say "sexual lies". At any rate, no child should be taught to lie, no matter the "kind" of lie.

Is it proper to tell a 6year's younger girl that you love her?

It depends on the age difference, and whether there are minors involved. If you are 14 and you're telling a 8 year old you love in an intimant manner, then it is not proper. [But love can mean many things. If this girl is your neice, for example, telling her you love her would indicate that you feel love for a family member, and don't view that child in a relationship sense.] If you're, say, 28 and you're telling a 22 year old you love her, then it is acceptable.
