While I don’t have children of my own I see more harm than good when it comes to being always honest with kids. False promises is where I draw the line though. I can see why parents don’t talk about problems in their marriage with their kids, or tell them “grandma is just a little under the weather.” I think it’s okay to protect a child’s innocence as they grow up. There may be smarter and more mature children out there who are ready to hear about the harsh realities and that’s when you sit them down and have a discussion. There definitely should be a talk on lying as well and hope that your child does not use it for evil.
