I read an article on lying (children learning to) and it really dovetails with what you're saying. I've really been reconsidering some of the ways I handle what my kids say and do and it's a very fine line between teaching empathy and kindness and generosity (not hurting feelings) while managing honesty. But I want my kids to be much better at no than I have been in my life. It's such a difficult thing to reclaim.
