Please follow these steps when preparing for the class blog discussion:
1) Think about the general statement.
Many parents have habits that they do not want their children to
have. For example, many parents really love chocolate, smoke, or drink. Also,
many parents dislike things that they want their children to like. For example,
parents hate tomatoes, peas, apples, or oatmeal.
2) Think about this general question.
Is it better for parents to be open and honest about their bad
habits and dislikes, or should they lie to their children (hide the chocolate,
eat the tomatoes when infront of their children, etc)?
3) Visit this YouTube link and watch the video. You may not be able to understand it all, but watch it a three times and do your best.
Lies my parents told me
4) Finally, think about these questions. (Make sure to look up any vocabulary you don't know.)
Do you think that the lies will be discovered at some time and
hurt the children (mistrust, etc), or do you think that these lies are
harmless?
Did your parents lie to you? How do you know and what did you do
when you found out?
Would you lie to your children?
Are these kinds of lies different from others?
Should parents teach their children how to lie, or let them learn
from outside sources (school, tv, etc.)?
