A mother named Molly Brandt shared on TODAY.com how she uses white lies to encourage her toddler to eat meat by promising points towards souvenirs at Disney World. This prompted many parents on TikTok to share their own humorous white lies to cope with toddler tantrums, ranging from explaining closures with exaggerated stories to creatively renaming foods to make them more appealing. These anecdotes highlight the common strategy among parents to maintain peace and encourage positive behavior through playful deception.
"My daughter doesn't like to eat meat, so I tell her that if she takes a bite of her meat, I'll give her a point toward Disney World."
"I let my daughter try black coffee and of course, she hated it. Now, if I don't want to share my food, I tell her it's coffee-flavored."
