False Confession
What should parents do if their child confessed to something he did not do to avoid worse punishment for "lying" because of their strict policy on honesty?
Example, you asked your child if he did something wrong and he says "Yes, I did" because he was fearful you would not believe him if he said "No, I didn't" and get even worse punishment for what you think is "lying" because you told him he would get him into even more trouble if you thought he lied. Then you later found out your child did nothing wrong.
