Pinocchio Parenting: 21 Outrageous Lies We Tell Our Kids

"Are you a Pinocchio Parent? You may be asking yourself these very questions: What lies, cliches, and half-truths do I tell my children? How do these lies hurt my children and my relationship with them? Clinical psychologist and author Chuck Borsellino claims that our culture condones all sorts of lies -- from "tiny fibs" to calloused misrepresentations. Though well-intentioned in our unintentional lies, we set our children up for failure and disappointment and undercut our credibility. In the pages of this book, Dr. Chuck Borsellino helps you sort out fact from fiction, intention from outcome. Most important, you'll learn a better way -- a way to help your children live life within the bounds of reality while fully exploring the dreams of their heart.

Introduction

The Truth about the Lies We Tell

SMART PEOPLE BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT THEY HEAR.

REALLY SMART PEOPLE KNOW WHICH HALF TO BELIEVE.

The truth is, everybody lies. Deny it, and you're probably lying. Small lies are called "fibs." Big ones are called "whoppers." Necessary ones are called "white." For politicians, lying has been perfected to an art form. For parents, it's more of a necessity:

"Your mommy and I were just wrestling . . ."

"Your fish went to live with their friends in the ocean."

"If you keep making that face, it's going to stay that way."

"Tell me the truth, and I promise I won't get mad. YOU BROKE WHAT?"

We live in a culture where lying is commonplace -- just as fish live in a culture where wet is the norm.
