Be Honest. Do You Really Want Honesty?
Honesty is a natural behavior that toddlers, who are learning the English language, put into practice by stating random facts that are blatantly true. For example, a toddler may point at a bottle of milk and say “milk”. Afterward, they will look to the parent or person around for the approval of what they just did. This is where we learn that Fact = Truth. They either receive a happy yes or a scolded no. As a child, we do this all the time until we say something that hurts someone else. A child may look at a person’s hair and say out loud, “Mommy, her hair is black and blonde”. The child is then reprimanded by the parent. The majority of the child’s learning up until this point has been to be observant and identify what they see. So, why was this moment different? Well, the woman naturally had jet black hair and her roots were growing out. The child was just identifying that the woman had two different hair colors. The child couldn’t have known that to point out the woman’s roots would cause her to be offended. However, the child was still punished for the action that they had been taught to practice all along.
