Tell the truth. This is something I am teaching my 4 year old. If she tells me the truth about something she's done wrong, I won't be as mad (usually I'm not mad at all and very understanding about why she's done it). If she lies to me and I find out that she lied to me, even if it's something innocent, that's when I galet upset and she gets in trouble. So, own up to it and tell the truth. I mean, the worst is that you'll be fired, BUT, if you like, that's a guaranteed firing and potential lawsuit on your hands because the have seen an intent to steal instead of an accident.

Lol. My Mum told us that but if was not always the case. Often the truth wouldn’t mean she and I would fix the issue, it would just mean a sure fire beat down. But honestly, it has taught me bad habits. Still to this day, as a grown ass women I sometimes resort to white lies, and usually the times when I do so is when a lie wouldn’t be necessary... like I’m covering out of a guilty conscience that isn’t warranted?
Anyways, moral of the story - don’t lie and don’t abuse your kids.
