Reviews

Talwar is a renowned researcher of children's deception, and this book will enhance her reputation among scholars and, what's more important, explain the nuances of lying to a lay audience. It is chock full of evidence-based insights for parents and children. There is nothing quite like it, and both parents and students will benefit immensely from reading it.--Stephen J. Ceci, PhD, Carr Professor of Developmental Psychology at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and Past President, Society for Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science Victoria Talwar is the leading authority on the development of lying and deception in children. I'm a huge fan of her work. The Truth About Lying: Teaching Honesty to Children at Every Age and Stage is especially for parents, but I recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.--Timothy Levine, PhD, University of Alabama Birmingham, author of Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception
