About This Quote
The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth. This quote comes from the book “The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care” by Dr. Benjamin Spock. According to Dr.
Spock, “The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth.” This means that when children are given a slight omissions or even a half-truth they can easily believe it to be the whole truth. This is why many parents are wary of what they tell their children, but it is also why children are able to learn so much more simply by being told the truth.
