Would a parent lie for a child and if so what does that teach the child?

I wouldn't lie for a child. It teaches the child wrong things. If it's something he/she might not want to hear like a pet dieing just tell the truth. It's a part of life. It teaches the child emotions and how to handle them. If the child did something wrong for you to lie for him/her it will teach the child not to do bad things. lieing is not good. It just delays the truth and teaches the child to lie.




Some parents would. Some wouldn't. (Quite obviously).





It entirely depends on the circumstances and reason for the lie, and the age and perceptiveness of the child, in response to the second part of the question. You can't really generalise with vast sweeping statements like that.




A parent should lie for the child if they want the child to lie to them.


If they don't want the child to lie to them then they shouldn't tech the child that it's ok to do that.




If the parent is dumb. That teaches the child to lie for their child and it teaches them no responsibility.




yeah I would ..like "she isnt home now" to friends at the door. And if they are being treated unfairly in any situation. It teaches them family sticks together and has eachothers backs.




that the child should lie too thats what it teaches the child




yeah.
