Is it okay to lie to children: a few exceptional cases when you should do just that
From childhood, everyone is taught to tell the truth, and therefore pangs of conscience are familiar, if not to the majority, then to a decent part of modern society.
Part of this society has already become parents and is instilling moral qualities in young individuals, raising them by their own example.
Does this mean that children should not be lied to and that adults who are trained to tell the truth should not be disingenuous?
Let's look at several cases when a child can be deliberately misled and never regret it.
Lie and don't blush
1. When a child needs to be praised for his hard work and diligence. Even if he didn't sweep very well, didn't draw very nicely, or did something else with an average result, he should definitely be praised. He tried.
2. When a child needs to be called to obedience, for example, to put him to bed before 10:00 pm or take away his smartphone, turn off the TV, etc. Explain the need to obey the law.
3. When a child does not want to study, you can tell him that without the knowledge he received at school (even physical education, labor and singing) you would never have achieved what you have.
4. If a child asks to buy something not the healthiest in a store, something that adults call "crap". Buy it, try it and say that it tastes like his least favorite medicine and immediately offer him to finish it.
5. And if the child does not like to brush his teeth, then you can add that because of this they will soon start to fall out.
Earlier we told you what to do if your child has confused day and night .
