25、ien加油s to you, it hurts. As parents, n加油it makes us angry and we take it n加油personally. We feel liken加油 we can never trust our child agan加油in. Why does lying cause sn加油uch anger, pain and worry for parents?n加油Parents are understandablyn加油 very afraid of their chin加油ldren getting hurt and getting int
26、o n加油trouble, but they have very little prn加油otection against these things as they sn加油end their kids out into the word. Kidsn加油 learn from other kidsn加油 and from external mn加油edia, and this makes parents n加油feel unsafe because thn加油ey cant control the infon加油rmation and ideas that their cn加油hildren
27、 are exposed to.When n加油your kid lies, you start ton加油 see him as “sneaky(卑鄙的)”, especially in加油f he continues to lie to you. Yn加油ou feel that hes going behind n加油your back. You begin to n加油think that your kids are “bad”. Ben加油cause, certainly, if lying isn加油 bad, liars are bad. Its just that simpn加
28、油le. Parents need to make thn加油eir kids responsible n加油for lying. But the mistake parenn加油ts make is that they start to blamn加油e the kid for lying. Its cn加油onsidered immoral to lie. Bun加油t when you look at your kid liken加油 hes a sneak, its a slippery slopn加油e (滑坡谬误)that starts with “You lin加油e” and
29、ends up at “Youre a bad person加油n”.Kids know lying is forbin加油dden. But they dont sn加油ee it as hurtful. So a n加油kid will say, “I know its wrongn加油 that l eat a sugar sn加油nack when Im not supposed to.n加油 But who does it hurt?” “I n加油know its wrong that I trade my drn加油ied fruit for a Twinkie.n加油 But
30、it doesnt really hurt anybody. I cn加油an handle it. Whats the bn加油ig deal?” Thats whatn加油 the kid sees.So I think than加油t parents have to assn加油ume that kids are going to tell themn加油 lies, because theyre immaturn加油e and they dont undn加油erstand how hurtful these thn加油ings are. Theyre all drawn n加油to
31、excitement, and theyll all n加油have a tendency to distort(歪曲)thn加油e truth because theyn加油re kids.12. Why do parentn加油s worry about their kids and feen加油l unsafe?A. Nobody trusts thein加油r kids in the world becausn加油e of lying.B. Lying alwan加油ys causes their kids to get hurt or getn加油 into trouble.C. Their kids are exn加油posed to outside worln加油d without their control.D. Thn加油ey cant protect their kids n加油from other kids and externan加油l media.13.
