Category:  Life
Most people hate it when someone lies to them, and even more so when it is done on a regular basis. However is there any way that you could possibly tell if someone is lying to you? I am sure that all  parents would love to have some type of machine that would automatically tell them when their  are lying to them. It would definitely make parents lives a lot easier. There are some things that you can do that may prove helpful. Following are a few techniques that may be able to help you when it comes to figuring out if someone is lying to you or not.

When it comes to dealing with  kids there are plenty of signs that will indicate to you that they are lying. Most kids can give it away simply by their body language. Some  children will fidget when they are lying, and will also avoid any type of eye contact with you. Some children will also constantly touch their ears or their face when they are being dishonest. Another way is to watch your child's facial expressions very closely. For some kids their facial expressions will tell you very quickly that they are the guilty party. Unlike adults young children who are guilty of something may not get very defensive when they are first accused of something. They may not say anything at all and will become very uncomfortable as you continue to ask them questions.
When it comes to young teenagers it may be little more difficult to tell if your child is lying. If however you figured out little gestures or expressions that your children make when they are lying you may still be able to use these things to tell if they are lying when they are older. This is yet another reason why it is very important to pay close attention to your young children. For teenagers they will usually also avoid any type of eye contact and in some cases will repeat the question in an attempt to try and give themselves some time to think up an excuse. They may also add some very unnecessary details to their story, which may also tell you that they are going overboard to try and convince you that they are telling the taught. Of course there is one that all parents know well and that is when they try and change the subject, and then you definitely know that they are trying to hide something. Remember that you know your children better than anyone else does, so if you take the time to watch them, and get to know their body language and facial expressions you should have no problem being able to tell if your child is lying to you or not.

Change of voice: A variation in pitch of voice or rate of speech can be a sign of lying.  So can lots of umms and ahhs.Body language. Turning your body away, covering your face or mouth, a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs can indicate deception.Contradicting yourself:. Making statements that just don’t hold together should make you suspicious.
here are 

The Top 10 Ways To Tell if Someone is Lying To You

  1. Their eyes cast down when they lie.

  2. They add too much.

  3. Nervous laughter.

  4. They feign ignorance about something you know they know.

  5. They take charge of the conversation to distract/divert you.

  6. They play on your friendship: asking you to just trust them.

  7. You sense that something is off; any clue will do.

  8. You find YOUR eyes squinting and your head angling several degrees.

  9. When you ask for an explanation/clarification, there's a momentary gap while they conjure up something.

  10. Explanations are given, that, while plausible, aren't good enough for YOU.

  good blog Craig ;p

I know this is a serious topic but,sometimes it's hillarious with the way young little human beings are able to lie.My son knows he can't get away with to much lying.Papa has a radar 24 hrs. a day.I caught on to him thus far.I'm preparing my self for the next level.Now, he just tells the truth and looks me in the eye.God, does he hate it.Never the less, he unloaded a bucket full of baggage by telling the truth.He knows it's for the better and is more and more truthful.
One of his classic approaches to not lying --- He'll just out of the blue try and make me laugh,do silly and funny things, tell me how he did some good deeds...... what a set up LOL...then, when he thinks I'm all buttered up,he tells me the truth about  something he's done wrong.Really not a bad way to approach it from his stand point.I appreciate him being honest for the most part.
Otherwise I'll smack his butt real good and he knows it..lol

Great post. It's harder to tell if an adult is lying, though. Especially if you don't know them very well. I wonder what would happen to our society if one day everyone woke up and could read everyone's minds and know instantly when someone was lying to them....?

Yes I think all signs mentioned that will indicate if kids are lying are possible. For me I didn't have the chance to prove those signs with my children as I don't remember they lied to me. I think I'm lucky in this case. Any how it's a good subject.

I think that it is funny that no one mentioned the fact that most people who lie and don't have a speech issue will often stutter. They lose train of thought. For the ones that are really good will often end up changing the pitch of their voice and become argumentative. You ask them where they are going. They say out. You ask where. They then become irratable, agitated, and often will thry to send you on a guilt trip about always questioning them. They play the reverse psychology thing on you to make it out to be your fault. The conversation ends and you never determined where they were going.

I could always tell when my daughter was lying because her eyes would get as big as fifty cent pieces, She would start talking fast and giving you too much information.  Her facial expressions give her away every time.  I used to tell her that she was lying like someone was paying her.  Just so unnecessarily.  Right now, she is 40 and I can still tell when she is lying.  I can tell when my granddaughter is lying because she gets defensive and her voice goes up an octave.  She protest to much.  You can learn a lot by just looking and listening which is what I do.

I learned to lie without any telltale signs early in life whether it be looking into the eyes or whatever.
