It's the question parents don't want to think about answering. But the time will come when you'll be faced with it. If you're getting nervous this could be your last Easter without any skepticism from your child, it could be time to start preparing yourself. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/954405/is-the-easter-bunny-real-how-to-answer-your-child Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Mom & Dad Lisa Steinke Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/953999/how-long-should-kids-believe-in-the-easter-bunny Imaginary and make-believe play are totally appropriate for young children. However with make-believe, kids know certain things are not real. When it comes to the Easter Bunny, it's a whole other story. Children are believing in something that is completely untrue. Should you encourage kids to believe in myths such as the Easter Bunny, and if so, when should you tell them the truth? http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/953999/how-long-should-kids-believe-in-the-easter-bunny Parenting Age by Age School Age Kids Kori Ellis Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/984117/getting-caught-being-the-easter-bunny You thought your child was asleep.

Did she do the right thing by being honest and putting out there what some moms feel? Or should she have kept those thoughts to herself? http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/827179/mom-blogger-acknowledges-i-love-one-child-more-than-the-other Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Mom & Dad Laura Willard Mon, 24 Jan 2011 07:45:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/love-and-sex/articles/822817/what-you-should-never-lie-to-your-guy-about Sometimes little white lies are a relationship necessity, like when you can’t bear to tell him you think his older sister is crazy, and instead pretend to love her. But there are some things you need to be honest about if you want to maintain a healthy relationship. http://www.sheknows.com/love-and-sex/articles/822817/what-you-should-never-lie-to-your-guy-about Love & Sex Marriage & Relationships Dating Jessica Padykula Wed, 01 Dec 2010 11:37:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/820526/Is-your-teenager-is-lying-to-you You thought you dealt with the lying issue when your child was younger. You thought it was clear: you and your teenager had enough of a bond of respect and honesty that he wouldn’t lie to you. But then your teenager did lie to you. In addition to dealing with the lie, you are dealing with bigger emotions -- some hormonally fueled -- and judgment on all sides. What the heck happened? http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/820526/Is-your-teenager-is-lying-to-you Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Parenting Advice & Columns Jen Klein Wed, 01 Dec 2010 11:31:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/820524/Dealing-with-your-child-s-big-lies Sadly, lying is a part of life. Even if we put a big emphasis on honesty at home, as adults and parents we lie, and kids learn how to lie from us. Sometimes the lies are “little” lies -- lies told to protect oneself, make oneself look better, cover an emotion or avoid minor judgment. Other times the lies are big -- whoppers! They are “How on earth did he think he could get away with that one?!” lies.

It’s just a little white lie. We all tell little lies, you say. Well, maybe we do. But does that make a lack of honesty okay? Has lying become a habit for you?
