Is it ever OK to lie to a child? My 10-year-old son plays soccer. He’s not very good, but he loves it. Yesterday he played very 75 . When he finished the game, he asked, “Did I play well?” I said, “Yes! You are a great soccer player!” Did I go the right thing?

Bernie	I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Children learn honesty from the 77 they see. As parents, we should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children.

Missy	You lied to make your son feel better, but you 79 a good chance to teach him a life lesson. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, “No, you didn’t play well today. Great soccer players practice a lot. Let’s go and practice.” The truth will make him 80 and a good soccer player.
Parvz	Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. Next time when your son asks, “Did I play well?” you may say. “What do you think?” Then your son can tell you what he thinks. That way, everything you say is true, and you avoid truth that hurts.
