What are we supposed to do when our kids admit to doing something wrong? If we blow up, they will lie to avoid getting into trouble. They'll be afraid to come to us whenever they have problems. When they are small, it may be a fight on the playground or a grade on a test. As they get older, they'll have to navigate sex, drugs, and peer pressure. The risks are bigger, and the consequences are more serious. Today we talk about getting your kid to be honest with you, no matter what.
