Young kids are extremely receptive to self-fullfilling prophecies, and very flexible. If they hate school, it’s better to find out why and try to see if you can get them to like school. You can kinda trick them by trying to associate school with fun, talk about how much you enjoyed school as a kid, and try to get them to talk about things they did that they liked at school. Or the flip side is maybe you’ll learn that there’s something serious you need to help handle as a parent
its called a white lie. You tell kids them all the time
Sure… If you want to seriously undermine any trust you’ve built up with your kid when they’re older.
Tell kids the truth when they’re older, but you cant reason with a young kid about everything.
…and then they’ll never trust you fully again. Ever.
This is the most shortsighted shit I’ve seen in a long time.

That’s not a white lie. It’s just a lie.
