ADHD & Lying

Ever wondered why it seems that children with ADHD tend to lie more than others?

Lying for ADHD'ers is a reflex, or impulsive action. They are not always able to think before they act, and so saying they have done something (like chores), or not done something (like breaking something) is a reflex action, so they don't get in trouble. This then becomes a habit. These responses come down to executive functioning issues and impulse control is part of this group of skills . Kids with ADHD often struggle with these skills. Having trouble with these skills also makes it hard for kids with ADHD to understand and think about consequences. Working on executive functioning issues will help with these issues and give them the confidence to be truthful more often.
