I do like having the kids chime in. Kids learn from other kids very fast. Positive peer pressure rocks.

Say "not telling the truth" or "not true" or "fib" or "falsehood" or "tall tale" or WHATEVER...it's still accurate (assuming you did not in fact hurt their body)

but for the love of all things shiny, WHY is saying the word "lie" WORSE than encouraging teasing, bullying, mocking, and namecalling?
