What’s wrong, if I understand correctly, is that we are supposed to outgrow it, no?

From about age 4 on, children lie for many of the same reasons adults do: to avoid punishment, to gain an advantage, to protect against an unwanted consequence, and even to boost self-esteem….to demonstrate power, to maintain privacy, or to protect a friend…. recent research has shown that lying plays a positive role in normal development. Essential human skills— independence, perspective taking, and emotional control—are the same skills that enable children to lie.

Most kids eventually learn that others may stop giving them what they want, or want to be with them at all, if they tell so many lies that lying goes from something they do to something they are.

So, they develop other kinds of skills, conflict resolution and negotiation skills.
