She pointed out thatthere are almost always consequences to lying to your children, none of which are good.
The expert emphasized that the consequences are often feelings of hurt, anger, disappointment, and betrayal.
On the other hand, simply blurting out a truth is not usually good either, Diane explained.
It wont be good to just suddenly present this information to their children.
So professional counseling can be crucial during these times.
