How to Tell If Your Teenager Is Lying and What to Do about It

Dr. Alan Hirsch provides a guide for concerned parents on what to look for when lying becomes a habit, or when parents suspect that the teen is lying to cover up high-risk behavior or serious problems. The book explores examples of highly public lying among national leaders to illustrate its points, discusses why lying matters, and presents parents and other caregivers with practical tools for detecting lies and strategies for reducing their frequency and building greater family and community cohesion.
