A RE you, unwillingly, pursuing
"A a policy with respect to your
children that tends to make liars

A tendency to deceit, natural to
most children, is often fostered by
the anxiety of parents. who
worry. attempt to verify every
statement the child makes. and
finally force him into a corner
from which. 1t seems to him,
there il no escape except through

effect. The child. feeling that
he has been driven to lie, il not

feel that he makes a free choice
between truth and falsehood. He
should also be made to learn.
however, that. he Is most un.
likely to 'get away with it" ana
that the attempt to do so II al
ways going to work out to his
disadvantage.
Parents themselves are directly
responsible for a good deal OF

he will probably feel resentment
not only toward the dentist but
also toward his mother. an atti'
tude which may give mucn
trouble later on.
Parents should not threaten
their children with doctors, police
men and dogs. Threats Of this
kind work once or twice, but the
child soon learns that doctors
and policemen are friendly beings
and that dogs are good playmates.
What is more, he learns that his
parents word cannot be trusted
and also that to instill fear con-
fers a sense of power, and ne

a child not only destroys its al

Tense. The temptation to lie for
self-protection is very strong, ana
the punishment then defeats its
own end. Many children lie inn
pulsively and instinctively to pro-
tect themselves from discipline,
especially when frankness Is not
considered to be a. mitigating cir
cumstance.
The only sound way of develop
ing the habit of truth in the child
is to give him truth as an example
to initiate. Lying in children IS
often the imitation of older people
who meet every issue in life either
by self-deception or the deception
of others. Useful headaches, say
ing one il out when a neighbor
calls, and warnings by one parent
to a child not to tell the other, all
give the idea that evading the
truth Is a useful way OF dealing
with new and difficult situations.
On the other hand. IL you are
