No such thing as a little white lie - Season 2 Episode 1

While most of us would say that truth-telling is intuitive, sometimes we still tell "little white lies" or worse, and by our reactions, we as parents can unintentionally incentivize our kids to bend the truth. In this episode, we'll expand the definition of a lie and advocate for the idea of being absolutist in modeling and insisting on truth-telling.

We'll unpack this counterintuitive topic, provide some examples, including an interview with our 14 year old grandson, and leave you with some practical ideas for putting this into practice in your own family.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
