Should I Tell Them or Not:Key Insights Why Its Better to be Honest with Your Children

Most people nowadays have lived with the negative impression of what prisons, jails, and correctional facilities are built for.

But if youll be able to meet families who are regular visitors of these places, youll understand and realize that what you see on TV is just an exaggerated version of the real prison life.

Contrary to the belief that when a person is in prison they will no longer be loved and respected by other people. Having regular communications with the inmate makes this belief a complete hoax especially if parents inside a correctional facility will have the courage to tell their children the truth.

No matter how hard parents try to conceal it, there would be a way for their children to find out. Children will be devastated, but they deserve to know the TRUTH.

Its time to tell the

TRUTH

Telling children the TRUTH in such a way that they would not feel any guilt or self-blame is very vital for them to be enlightened about the realities of the reasons why their parents have to be in jail.

But what makes children distrust you is when you lied to them about a loved one being behind bars because for them, its an act of deception.

Children are smart in their own ways there are instances that in order to conceal the real situation of our loved ones to protect them, we give them vague answers about the absence of a certain person.

Yet, children can still figure it out from the clues they see even if it is unintentionally revealed.

When children arent given an explanation that makes sense, they look for ways to fill in that gap.

Prepare the children in accepting phone calls from a loved one in a correctional facility it is best to have the children understand how long someone can be away or when the next contact with their imprisoned loved one would be.

Include the imprisoned loved ones in every discussion to make children feel that even though they are not with them, they are still aware of what is happening in the house.

In addition to this, it will reassure the children that even though jails are places that a person is not ought to be, their loved ones will are still safe.

Being in prison doesnt have to be devastating.
