Inspired by pg essay “Lies We Tell Kids” we haven’t lied to ours yet (ages 5 and 7). It’s worked out well so far and I think we are building a good foundation of trust for later years.
- tempestn 5y agoI don't recall lying to mine either (7 and 10). I'm not dogmatic about it, so I expect I have on occasion, but I certainly don't make a habit of it, and I cringe at the kind of casual lying I hear a lot of parents doing. That said, some information is definitely too heavy for young children, so I will demur or omit details when I feel it's necessary.
