Oof, this is definitely a:
Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.
Good, kids need to stop believing every bullshit they hear. Critical thinking is in short supply these days.
It will be pretty obvious that you did this out of self interest. If you wanna teach your kid to lie themselves out of putting any effort, this is the way to do it. Its the only conclusion for your child that critical thinking will bring. No one will trust your kid to do any work, this means it will have to fend for itself. There will definitely corrective info from classmates, teachers, but by that time the damage is already done, and the only lesson that remains will be that your dad/mom is a terrible human beeing.
We're talking about a 4 years old.
Stop projecting your unmedicated paranoia to 4 years old
What will happen is that they'll figure it out, be mad for about 5 hours, and then have Dino nuggies for dinner and won't remember any of it.
Kids are dumb.
well if you dont even manage to keep this stunt covered for a year then maybe you are just stupid for trying in the first place.
Mate it's a small white lie to a 4 year old kid. It doesn't matter if it's uncovered in a year or less. Stop being so fucking dramatic and take your meds.
no thats the point. I genuinely think you might be unlucky enough that this lie stays with the kid for too long. might even reject other classmates attempts at clearing it out because your kid trusts you. Also critical thinking involves dividing facts from fiction, and you dont teach this by telling fiction. If thats a white lie i dont wanna see your actual lies.
My nephew asked me why all the old pictures in his great grandmother's photo book were in black and white.
I told him that because back then they hadn't invented colors yet, and that they had to invent green yellow and red because nobody could figure out the traffic lights.
He bought it, moved on. Later he learned the truth. He also learned to not believe everything an adult says. I can't fool him with stuff like that nowadays.
