Lies! Lies! Lies!

Is it really good to lie to your children just to protect them from getting hurt? Wouldnt they get hurt eventually when they find out the truth from any other source? Can we keep our children in a bubble and protect them from all the different bad things in this world?

I think its important as a parent to protect children from some of the harsh truths of life. Kids are very tender and extremely sentimental. If you get hurt or may be a small cut which might bring a drop of blood from either mummy or papa's hand, whether you feel the pain or not, kids will always cry on this insignificant incidence as per you and tell all the people they meet about this incidence. As they grow they get mature and their level of understanding and thinking increases. So I firmly believe we should tell kids only that much which according to their maturity level they can understand(mind it maturity level has nothing to do with age as each child shows different maturity level) and as a parent we can judge how much to disclose to your child.

but i think being over protective can also harm children
