[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flash forward a couple years. Your daughter is at a friends house when the friend’s uncle touches her inappropriately. Do you want her to say to herself “ugh, if I tell my parents this is going to be a whole big thing. Lots of follow up questions, lots of emotions, regret, etc. It will be much easier to just tell them I don’t like that friend anymore, never go to her house again, and warn all our other friends so they don’t go either.” Or do you want her to tell you the raw, difficult truth? You can’t expect honesty about tough things from your children if you’re unwilling to show them the same courtesy and model how difficult, emotional conversations can be approached. If she were 5 or 6, I could respect the white lie in this moment. But a 9 year old can handle this. [/quote] WTF?! One has nothing to do with the other. [/quote]
