The importance of truth telling to kids

Um... Yeah...

The importance of truth telling to kids

I am a big believer in telling kids the truth. I do not believe that white lies protect them. I believe that secrets and lies hurt and if you want your child to trust you s/he needs to be able to count on always being told the truth. Children need to be able to trust their parents. It is fundamental to the parent-child relationship and it becomes generalized by the child to all other relationships s/he has later in life. There are ways to explain the truth to kids at every age in age appropriate ways. There is a multitude of scientific research out there to back up my very strong opinion on this matter and it is a professional modus operandi for me.


Note: Have any of you been told what not to say during a visitation?

  1. I was absolutely told what to say and what not to say during visitation - and my children were both amazed at what they found out when they came home!

    It is amazing to see what stricture they think are appropriate

  2. Pretty interesting article.

    What fascinates me is, the entire industry and everybody involved with it are pathological liars.

    So what's this pompous foster trying to imply with this absurd story about truthfulness?

  3. The ONLY reason I had supervised visits was because they wanted to monitor what I said. There were ZERO allegations of abuse or neglect. Why did I lose 8 children? Because of my "political beliefs." And no, I'm not communist, socialist, or anarchist. What I am is someone who believes and follows the Bible and knows that I had the right and responsibility to raise my children to know the truth.

  4. The ONLY reason I was supervised for 3 YEARS with my children was so they could deny me my right to speak the truth to my children. They never even made an allegation of neglect or abuse of any kind, yet controlled my interaction with my own children. I lost 8 children because of my alleged "political beliefs". No, not communism, socialism, or even anarchism. I'm a Bible-believing, homeschooling stay-at-home mom who loved her children dearly, and was teaching them the truth about our country and the government.
