Cmv: you should never lie to kids.

You might think it's right but you are doing much more harm to the kid. Trust issues, psychological issues later in life due to their inability to have healthy coping. This includes "fun" lies like the tooth fairy and Santa claus and more serious topics like reproduction, sex, and about death of pets and people. Toy are only making things easier for yourself while causing lasting negative effects on the child. "They're too young to understand" didn't work, They understand what you teach them. If you don't fully understand a topic, don't lie about it, get someone to assist you in explaining it or learn more about it first. There is also no shame in admitting you don't know something.

Telling your children white lies is important sometimes for many reasons, not least of which is that it teaches them the distinction between good and bad lies.  Lying is an important life skill, and it would be chaos out there if we were all being completely honest without omission to each other 100% of the time.  You can lie to someone in order to help them, or in order to protect them from something.  You can lie in order to be selfless, so that someone doesn't prioritize your needs over theirs when you don't want them to.  You can lie to preserve a friend's secret, or to give someone enjoyment by throwing a surprise party.

Kids need to learn this skill somewhere safe and from someone that has their best interests at heart.  Who better than their parents?
