How about honesty? Honesty and openness with children seems like a good alternative to hypocrisy to me.
Not all the time and not about everything. There is a time and place for absolute honesty and that's not when children are still very young. Some things should be taught to them gradually.

Gradually yes. Simplified to their level of understanding yes. But lies should be avoided as much as possible, even "white" lies like the existence of Santa Claus.Ferrond wrote:
Oh tell them by all means, it's just not necessary to elaborate on the details.
That depends really on whether the child asks good questions. The answer should fit the question. A lecture in response to "that" question isn't good, but nor is the same over-simplified answer to varied questions.

Totally agree on both parts, though sometimes 'white' lies are unavoidable.
