Why Honesty Matters: Building Trust With Our Kids

As parents, we sometimes feel tempted to bend the truth to make things easier or protect our children from disappointment. But I’ve learned that honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable, lays the foundation for trust in our family. I remember the time my child asked a tough question about a family situation. It would have been simpler to gloss over the truth, but I chose to be honest in an age-appropriate way. That moment brought us closer, and my child felt respected and valued. Our kids look to us as their guides—let’s show them that honesty is always worth it. How do you handle tricky questions from your kids?
