.3“Most of the time if they’re lying to us, it makes sense.”

For this course, Dr. Jeremy Sharp of The Testing Psychologist podcast sits down with Steph Pitts and Rachel Kapp from the Learn Smarter podcast to talk about a topic that we’ve all likely experienced in some form or another: kids lying about homework. This issue comes up during intakes, can influence conceptualization, and will certainly impact recommendations for those who assess kids. Here are just a few topics that they cover:

• Why do kids lie?
• How could and should we respond when kids lie?

Asynchronous, distance learning. Non-interactive. Recorded audio with transcript.
