About This Quote

When children are young, they are very open to what they see and hear. When you tell them the truth it can be very useful. However, when children are told the truth too often about things that are not necessarily true, the truth will be misconstrued. This can have serious consequences down the road.

When your children are older it is best to give them only the basic information. When you discuss what they should or should not do, do not overdo it with the truth.
