Lies, be they of the little white or massive whopper variety, can actually be fun. Provided no one gets hurt and there’s no massive breach of trust, like in a story Zac Efron recently told, fibs make for some interesting stories.

But as time goes by, children grow and become their own people, capable of taking on the world.Understanding that and letting them go can be difficult.
