Do children ever lie about not being in pain?
Sometimes children will try to hide pain or are simply unable to express that they are in pain. However, when children do admit to being in pain, they aren't lying. A child's pain should always be taken seriously. Pain is subjective and what you may not think is painful, your child might.
How do I talk to my child about his or her pain?
Break down information into small parts. Explain things slowly and repeat facts as often as necessary. Validating your child's pain is important.
