Ep #407: When You’re Accused of Lying

Ep #407: When You’re Accused of Lying

I recently had a client schedule a one-on-one after a particularly challenging incident where a student admitted to a behavior during the investigation, then went home and adamantly denied everything to their parents.

 

The parent confronted my client, confused about the conflicting stories, and suddenly she found herself in a situation where someone's telling the truth and someone's not. When we feel accused of lying or our integrity is questioned, our fight or flight response can kick in faster than we can think, leading to defensiveness or shutdown.

 

Join me this week to discover what to do when you’re accused of lying. We’ll explore why children tell different stories at school versus home, and how to stay emotionally regulated and curious instead of reactive so you can maintain your leadership position.
