Dyers' Straights: Help! I've made my child terrified of Gnomes... "We all lie to our Children"

Live and Let Dyers

1w ago • 11 mins

The Dyers are back again to tackle your problems. Today the whole of this Dyers' Straights episode centres around a listener's story from Liam in Swansea, who told his son a garden gnome would steal him if he stayed up past bedtime—an attempt to get the child to sleep.

The discussion expands to the broader topic of white lies in parenting, such as using the 'naughty monster' or the 'Santa Claus' myth, and their potential long-term effects.
