Nobody saw me do it. cant prove anything. " ...Bart Simpson Kids often have a unique sense of justice and truth. They make up their own rules and their own convenient technicalities to spice up the dull, unimaginative codes of ethics set down by their parents. For instance, whatever you say wont count as a lie if you cross your Fingers behind your back, or if you say you were just joking, or if you say NOT loud and clear afterwards. Children will sometimes take what does not belong to them and say they found it, which to them is technically correct, even if they happen to Find it at a friends house, or a neighbors yard, or a store. Theyll torture pets. Theyllchcat at checkers. Theyll tattle on friends just to cause trouble. In short, theyll cross those moral lines weve drawn in the sand for them. Theyll fall short of the expec tations of honesty and integrity we set for them. And we, as parents and teachers, must do more than be disWe must take those appointed. inevitable opportunities to teach lessons of character. We must show our children that their behavior has consequences. If someone is hurt by their actions, they must face the injured party and apologize. They must pay for damages they cause. Whether its enduring a punishment or working off a debt, we must guide our children to understand that truth is not a game. That honesty is not the best policy only when someone is looking. Our children will test the moral limits we place on them. Theyll test us. Theyll test themselves. And this is one time when its not cheating for us to help them pass the test.
