This I believe.....

http://thisibelieve.org/essay/39780/

This is an essay written by Martha Leath. She wrote it for the website thisibelieve.org . It is about how telling kids the truth is beneficial. I think we often under estimate the minds of children. In some ways they are capable of complex thoughts and ideas. We tend to sugar coat the truth so that kids can "understand" it better. I really think we do it to help us avoid explaining things. I know I am guilty of this when it comes to my own children.
