The Lying Fix (5-12 Years) Handle Dishonesty Without Shame or Lectures

Is your child lying-and you feel stuck between lecturing, punishing, or just ignoring it?
From sneaking candy to blaming siblings or hiding homework, dishonesty shows up in every family. But here’s the truth: lying is not a character flaw. It’s a survival strategy your child’s brain uses when honesty feels unsafe.

In The Lying Fix, parenting author Sana Rae combines brain-based parenting, calm communication strategies, and practical tools to help you understand why kids lie and how to respond without shame. Instead of punishing dishonesty, you’ll learn to decode the hidden needs-safety, belonging, or acceptance-that drive it.

This step-by-step 4-week plan gives you:
✅ The 3 Core Tools: Honesty Map, Safe Confession Script, Values Conversation
✅ Practical Worksheets & Trackers you can use immediately
✅ Real-Life Scenarios with scripts for homework fibs, screen time lies, candy sneaking, and more
✅ A Calm, Connection-Based Approach that rebuilds trust instead of walls

As you practice these tools, you’ll see your child regain confidence, trust, and self-worth-while your home becomes a safe place for honesty to grow.

If you’re parenting a child ages 5-12 and want a practical, empowering, brain-based guide to handle dishonesty without shame or endless lectures, this book is for you.

The Lying Fix will help you turn dishonesty into trust-one safe step at a time.
