Are we teaching our kids to say lie everyday?

How many times do we say our kids “Close your eyes and sleep, otherwise police will come” or distract them from the mobile they want by pretending as if crow took it or it got lost? Why can't we speak that it is time to sleep or you cannot play with the mobile.

One fine day when kid comes back with the excuse that my friend broke the toy, we would scold him for telling a lie. Why cannot we speak the truth from very beginning, from the day child is born? Do we think they are too small to understand truth or we are finding easy way out to tackle the situation? Are we putting the responsibility of our inability of handling the kid on innocence of the little kid? Are we not compromising with the righteousness or “Dharma” of being a parent? Are we not teaching them to tell a lie everyday?  If the foundation of building is weak, can we dream of building skyscraper over it?

Let us revive the Dharma of parenting to build a responsible society and a nation; ultimately let us make our contribution in making this world a happy place to live.
