The author and his wife decided that “no lies” would be their “one firm parental rule.”

What do you think are some other good parental rules?
The other good parental rules are better to establish in respect to” the white lie.” I think the white lies are important when it comes to children. For example, believing in Santa Claus I think makes childhood more exciting. Maybe we should all believe in magic once in a while. Another example on important white lies is that not telling a child of the child meaning of death, when a grandparent passes a way, a child should not be told of the scary thing, such as burial of grandparent. Not exciting anymore, instead the child should be told a happier thing, such as going to heaven or being with God or even that one day we will all see them again. This is the better way of telling the truth to a child.
