Foster, Ida; Wyman, Joshua; Talwar, Victoria – Journal of Moral Education, 2020
The development of children's lie-telling abilities is considered to be a social and cognitive milestone. While occasional lying is developmentally appropriate, the use of frequent, antisocial lies as a maladaptive problem-solving mechanism can indicate behaviour problems.

Kim, Yong-Ho; Kellogg, David – Language and Education, 2015

Cuypers, Stefaan E.; Haji, Ishtiyaque – Theory and Research in Education, 2008
Liberals champion the view that promoting autonomy--seeing to it that our children develop into individuals who are self-governing in the conduct of their lives--is a vital aim of education, though one generally accredited as being subsidiary to well-being. Our prime goal in this article is to provide a partial validation of this liberal ideal…
