I Tell the Truth!
by David ParkerThis book is about honesty. Honesty may be a bit over the heads of young children since, in some cases, they are not developmentally able to see it the same as adults. In addition, they are at a level when their goal is to please and not lose the affection of the important adults in their lives. Often, when faced with a question requiring the truth, they may feel conflicted and want to escape the situation by giving a fanciful excuse. Try This: One way to use this book is to set up .situations that would require honest answers, and ask, "What would you do?" Then ask, "Why do you think this is a good choice?"
