The role of parents to their kids is very critical. In fact, majority
of the kids believe that their parents are always right. It means that
whatever they do and say are always based in good faith and experience.
Kids may not believe other adults, but when it comes to their parents
who are setting rules for them, they know that what they are going to
say are correct. Hence, some parents would force to follow wrong
traditions in disciplining kids because of the passed on lies that their
parents have actually inculcated to them when they were younger. Here
are the most common and shared lies to kids.
10. Gum Swallowed Will Remain in the Stomach for 7 Years
Just to stop kids eating unhealthy food, specifically candies and
bubble gums, they would scare their kids that if they eat and swallow
it, they will not be able to digest it within 7 years. I’ve experienced
it myself from my parents and it’s really funny that majority of parents
around the world have been doing this and not just my parents.
9. Don’t Eat Chocolate It Will Cause You More Acne
This lie does not only work for kids but it is commonly shared by
parents to their growing children who are approaching teenage years. In
fact, whenever parents see that there are zits coming out on the facial
areas of their kids, they would still tell up to now that it’s all
because of too much munching on chocolates.
8. I Know Everything Than You Do
In order to convince their kids that they are right, they would
explain that they are older than their kids and they know better than
they do. Experience wise, they might know a lot, but it does not mean
that they are knowledgeable in all things.
7. I Know Exactly What You Are Doing
Even before kids could do their thing, they would be warned by their
parents that whenever they do, whether they might hide it or not, their
parents know what they are actually up to.
6. We Are Not Shouting, We Are Just Explaining
When parents are caught fighting by their children, they would just
simply explain that they are just explaining things to each other,
although in reality, they are really quarrelling over specific concerns
or problems.
5. Truth Will Keep You from Trouble
In order for them to know the truth, they would tell their kids that
once they tell everything they will be okay and no one and nothing can
harm them. Hence, in most cases, no one has been kept from the
consequences of wrong actions. Each action and words uttered beget
results that cannot be avoided.
4. Parents Are Busy Sleeping
When parents want to spend some private moment with each other, they
would inform their children that they would take a nap for a while so
they have to keep themselves off from knocking to their room.
3. I Feel More the Pain than You Do
Just to pacify their kids not to be afraid with injection or
vaccination, they would tell them that it is much painful for them than
during the early days. At times, they would also say that the pain is
comparable to the bite of an ant.
2. Vegetable Will Make You a Hero
It is really challenging to make your kids eat vegetables. There are
some kids who are not really picky when it comes to the food being
prepared on the table. However, majority of kids are not really in the
habit and culture of being accustomed to eat leafy and other greeny
vegetables. The best way to convince them is to let them know that they
can be some sort of a hero once they have pieces of them.
1. Santa Visits Good Kids
This is a very classical and historical lie that had been part of the
parent’s rule in disciplining their kids. In fact, whenever December is
up, they would remind their kids to sleep on time, be good at school,
and do their homework so Santa will not forget to bring gifts to good
children. They love the idea that Santa would sneak in to their chimney
in the middle of the night and leave them exciting gifts. But in
reality, parents are their Santas.
