Last week we wrote about lies which are prompted by fear of punishment. These, we suggested, could be kept at a minimum by making it cusy for your children to tali the truth Don't push them Info a position where they are afraid of you and where lying seems the only way out. Thin doesn't mean that you should over- iixik their lupses from truth. It is often only by finding out thut lies don’t pay that children can be made to value truth. Besides, be cause most children really want to j confess their misdeeds parents should give them an opportunity. An Illustration of this was given me by a friend who said that her very first lie was still on her con science! Her father, it seems, used to bring home candy and di vide it evenly among the three children. One evening she discov ered u fresh supply hidden behind the coffee urn on the sideboard and helped herself to three pieces When her father went to distri bute the candy he immediately asked who had been in it. Not wanting to be "docked” those hree pieces, she denied having aken any. Her father didn’t say a vord Although she hud guilt writ- ,en all over her face, he gave her .he same amount as the others ind never mentioned it again. Yet ,n some way he let her know hat he knew of her guilt. Now 1 think thia father put a lttie too much responsibility on so young a child. I-ater on that Is, not in front of the other chll- dren he should have drawn her Parents' Magasins out and made it easy for her confess By that time whe would have had the bad time with her conscience he intended her to have, and would have gained the know I ledge that lie-telling la very un comfortable. Then by making amend« the next time candy wan divided »he wouldn't h^ve carried her falsehood on her conscience Into adulthood. Children sometime« lie because adult« have lied to them. The mo ther who tell« her child that «he i«n't going, anywhere and then he waken« from hl« nap and find« her gone is teaching him by exam ple to tell thing« that aren’t true. There are aiso untruth« which aren’t told directly to the child but | which enter hi« subconscience aa' family «tandarda of holding truth lightly Right now we have more area« than usual in which we are on our honor as families gas and sug£r rationing, rubber salvage can your child be certain that his parents are being honest about all these? He’ll want _ you to be, for a child will accept wholeheartedly the standards he learns at school and at Scout meeting« and any family deviation from them will cause him embarrassment and concern. Above all, don't label a child a liar. If your child lies find out why. Is he afraid? Help him to conquer that fear. Are you mak ing it ea«y and attractive for him to be truthful? Are you honest with him ? Answer these questions and you will be able to meet suc cessfully this problem of a child's lying. unwillingness of the government Washington, D. C.
