As parents, we are entrusted with teaching our children moral values and developing their good character. It is a duty that, when done well, has a positive ripple effect, impacting everyone and everything they will influence throughout their whole lives. In short, our parenting impacts the world. No pressure.

One fundamental aspect of good character is truthfulness. It seems like such a simple concept, but the value of truthfulness goes beyond simply not lying. If imbued in a child’s character, it can benefit him or her in every aspect of life.
