[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 400024, member: 1872"] Terry, there is also literature about adopted kids and lying, the reason being that unresolved trauma keeps them in an aroused, fear- based state, so they lie to protect themselves, especially because in a fear-based state, the cognitive brain doesn't have time to process the "truthful" answer to even simple questions, like "did you fill the dog's dish with food." Jo P.S This same rationale could probably work for any anxious kid who lives in fear because his or her processing time can't handle the demands of the day. [/QUOTE]
