“Don't lie to your kids. Even if the truth is inconvenient, never lie.”
— Anthony Bourdain

Simplified Meaning:
When you lie to your children, you are breaking their trust. Kids look up to their parents and believe what they say. If they find out you lied, even with good intentions, they might feel hurt and confused. For example, if you tell your child their pet went to live on a farm when it actually passed away, they might be upset with you when they learn the truth. It's better to explain things in a simple, honest way that they can understand. Being truthful helps build a strong, trusting relationship, and it teaches kids that honesty is important.
