Is it right or not to lie to kid?

Yeah, come to think of it I too started to think right now. I guess maybe its not that bad to tell a little white lie once in a while especially when it is beyond understanding. When a child grows up he/she wouldn't probably remember it anyway. If he does, I'm sure he would understand and realize why you could not explain it to him way back before. He would absolutely understand that it is for the reason that he wouldn't understand it anyway.

i dont really believe that lying=evil..i think you just really have to weigh things up cause lying can really do good sometimes..if you feel like there are much more positive things a simple lie can provide (especially to a growing kid) then by all means lie. like you said, you are the mother and for sure you know what's best for your child. You can always debrief the child when s/he comes to the right age when s/he can already understand that what you did is the right thing to do for that moment. Good luck!

I don't think it is ever right to lie to a kid. I think if you want your kid to be truthful with you when he is older you need to be truthful to them. I don't think I ever lied to my son while he was growning up, and although I don't know if he has always been honest with me, he certainly seems to be nowadays.

Their are to types of lies the black and the white lies. The first categories is you make a lie to cover up your own fault and mistakes which have an effect to other people. While the white lies is you do it to cover up a mistakes but with a good intention. In terms of kid, a mom could lie bu with a good purposes so that he would no longer feel guilty to her kids when she confess it after long period of times.

If you lie to your kid, won't you be teaching your kid to lie?? I always say that if they are old enough to ask that they are old enough to get the truth.

It depends on what kinds of lying, but surely lying is not equal to evil. In our childhood, my mother told us that Santa clause will bring the present from the chimney and we buy it. We are very happy on that day as we can have the presents then. If you told your kids without lying, the santa clauze is visional and not true, how will your kids be responded? I warrant that he will cry and cry and talk to other kids that,"My mama told me that Santa Clauze does not exit". The endowed naive will not be accompanied with your kids. In all, well-meaning lie is good for people, not only for the kids, but for the adult.

well Lying is a social evil ... U just cant help lying... it makes a negative impression in the minds of CHild ... and thinks if my parents can lie why not me..... they too jump into this evil thing...
