I got a kid named Rakshith. He goes to school (Pre-kg) in NSN Matriculation, Chittalapakkam. Initially he cried like anything. Every day it is (even now-a-days) a big task for my wife and me to make him ready. One day due to some urgency, we went to his school gave the leave letter and went out. Thereafter we (my wife and I) convince him by saying "Lets go to school, hand over the leave letter to the class teacher and go to a movie". This became our usual tactics.
We were successful in cheating him for 3-4 times. One day he started crying and we convinced him the same way we do usually. He kept quiet and I was happy. But it dint lost for long. I was about to leave my house to his school. My son told "Mummy, I will stay here with Dad, why don't you go, handover the letter to class teacher and come back. Then we will go out". I was left with no choice to laugh and laugh for long...
Kids are very intelligent now-a-days. They keep watching you. The way you talk, behave and everything. We should be very careful while children’s are around.

Though its a nice read, I feel that we should not educate kids to cheat/lie :)
Normally kids grow up on seeing the elders with whom they are very close with. So in my opinion we should avoid these sorts of tricks almost always.
Apart from that, welcome to blogging!
I totally agree with you and value your opinion. "As You Sow, So You Reap". You should not keep lying or cheating a child. I'm sure all of us would have tried some stunt like this or the other when we are kids (and got whacked by our parents :-)).
In my case, i'm not trying to cheat my child. It is very difficult to convince any children of this generation. He is just 3 and half years old. Either whack him once, drag him to school, which i don't want to do. Say something for the moment, divert his attention, take him to school. The moment he sees his friend, he will say bye to me and run towards them.
He does not want to stay away from me or my wife, neither we. I'm sure he will understand things as he grows.
