When is it OK to lie to your children?

Parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to interacting with their own kids, mom and dad stretch the truth with the best of them, finds a new study.

  1. Often. Lying to your kids teaches them to be skeptical. They’ll thank you for it.
  2. Once in a while. Sometimes a little fib to spare feelings is called for.
  3. Never. Honesty is the best and only policy.
Tell me if your answer is 1, 2 or 3 and then tell me why.
