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.
