Episode 33-2 –  Lying: Little White Lies, Big Lessons


Listen Later

This week’s Dad Life episode tackles a tricky topic: lying.

While it can sometimes be used to avoid conflict or protect a surprise, lying can quickly become a negative habit—especially in our kids. We talk about the difference between harmless white lies and damaging dishonesty, and how we as dads can guide our kids to be truthful without making them afraid to talk to us.

We explore:

  • 🤥 Why kids lie (and why we sometimes do too)
  • 🗣️ How to create a home where honesty is valued
  • 🎁 When it’s okay to bend the truth (like birthday surprises!)
  • 🧠 What to say when your kid does get caught in a lie
  • It’s a tough subject, but an important one—and we do our best to approach it with honesty, empathy, and a bit of dad humor.

    We’d love to hear your thoughts too, so hit us up on social media and join the conversation!
