Can babies lie before they can even talk? New study reveals how early ‘deception’ may begin

Recent findings reveal that infants display deceptive behaviors sooner than we previously believed. These actions demonstrate their evolving social comprehension and cognitive skills. Importantly, such behaviors are normal developmental milestones and do not signify dishonesty. Parents are encouraged to engage in calm discussions about these situations, fostering an understanding of different perspectives as part of early brain development.
