Cheating happens every day. Athletes cheat by taking performance-enhancing drugs. Students cheat on exams and reports. Some executives cheat by ‘cooking the books’ to make their company appear more solvent than it is. If your child cheats, you may be wondering if you should worry since it seems like ‘everyone’ is doing it.
The plain and simple truth is that cheating is dishonest. Cheating allows someone to achieve something they didn’t earn. It also hurts innocent people along the way. Parents may be afraid that if their child begins cheating now they’ll develop a pattern of cheating that will continue into adulthood.
