THE HONESTY POLICY

In families and politics, truth is often a casualty. Help your children see how bending the truth can destroy trust and hurt people by spending an evening doing The Honesty Policy. If your children are old enough, help them understand that everything they see on TV, hear on the radio, or read on the internet may not be true. Teach them to check out rumors on www.snopes.com and political charges on www.Factcheck.org or http://politifact.com.
