Chapter 4: The Honesty Boomerang
Scenario:
You beg your kid to be honest, and they finally confess:
They failed a test, crashed your car, and maybe accidentally set the toaster on fire.
You want to praise their honesty, but you also want to ground them until the next solar eclipse.
What would you do?
Do you go nuclear and revoke all privileges?
Or do you offer "amnesty hour," talk it out, and focus on solutions instead of punishments?
