The impact of lying to children

Bonita and Nin delve into the crucial topic of truth-telling in parenting, discussing its complexities and the potential consequences of lying to children. They explore how even seemingly harmless tales like the tooth fairy can contribute to a culture of deceit. They emphasize that lying can lead to disconnection, undermine your integrity, and have long-term adverse effects. They also touch on the concept of collective lies, which often stem from a need to belong. Bonita raises the question of whether there is an alternative, a parenting approach based on truth and transparency.

Nin identifies the frantic, fast-paced modern life as a reason for the hurried approach to parenting. This habit can be consciously disengaged and replaced with a more calm and loving environment.

Parents' role in modelling truthfulness in their daily lives, even in challenging situations, is paramount. This could lead to a societal shift and create healthier family relationships.

Action steps:
1. Start telling the truth more and have the courage to be honest, even if it means going against cultural norms or societal expectations.
2. Encourage children to be honest and truthful by leading by example.
3. Find like-hearted families who want a world of truth and transparency.
