It doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion or check for yourself if your child tells you something that is suspiciously beneficial to them or a bit too convenient. But occasionally, we should be a bit skeptical. Yes, we should believe children most of the time, when they tell us they are sad or hungry or tired. Some of the other rookie mistakes Kim notes that parents often make are believing their children in certain situations like when they say it’s Pajama Day at school or that they wiped their bottom well after going potty.
