The baby can easily tell the truth where the adult will keep silent or will lie in the mercenary purposes. The child is not spoiled by everyday problems, he is not in power of stereotypes therefore it is much simpler to it to call things by their proper names.
Origin of a saying
In the people there is a saying that lips of the child is spoken by the truth. It is connected with the fact that consciousness of the kid is not burdened by everyday problems and conventions therefore he, without thinking, tells the truth where the adult can keep silent or lie. The word "speaks" vulgarly from outdated "to glagolat" that means to speak, narrate. There are two versions of origin of this saying. One of them has bible character - Jesus Christ told that the children who are a little knowing in the Writing proclaimed the truth, by heart having recognized Lord. The second version says that the saying is the translation of the Latin legend ""From Lips of Babies — the Truth"".
The baby - the embodiment of purity and sincerity
At children the intuition is very well developed, sometimes, even without having learned to speak, they try to express the thoughts and emotions. Often happens that the child reaches for strangers, trusts them while categorically avoids some. It occurs because the kid unconsciously feels the good proceeding from the person or danger that it is not subject to the adult. The baby will not subject to stereotypes, however he can accurately differentiate for himself the good and evil.
The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero claimed that the person can be sincere only in five cases – having gone mad, by negligence, being drunk, during sleep and in the childhood.
Child and adult world
Very often happens that adults should redden for the children. For example, the child in public can tell something incorrect or give some family secret. To avoid such situations, it is necessary to explain to the baby what can be spoken at strangers and that it is impossible. Happens and so that adults joyfully exclaim: ""Lips of the baby..."", breathing a sigh of relief that not they had to tell the truth, strangers have no right to take offense at the innocent kid. It is essentially wrong approach, the child expresses the thoughts sincerely what demands also from the parents.
The child intuitively feels who can be trusted and for whom it is impossible. To gain of him the confidence, the adult has to pursue exclusively good aims.
Other party of a medal
Lips of the child the truth speaks, however it does not mean that adults have to always and in everything blindly trust the child. It is worth to remember that the child becomes more senior, the he is surrounded every day with a large number of people. They can have a certain influence on it, impose the thoughts and the ideas. It is important that between the kid and parents the internal connection which will become the guarantor of trusting relationship was established.
