So, if we actually fulfil the mitzva of helping kids ask questions and then attempt to answer, now the difficult part: what do you do when questions are uncomfortable – say, kids see inconsistency or hypocrisy on your behavior? or if you do not know the answer to the question and there is no internet to look up under the table? Do you say – I was wrong, I do not know, or try to come up with tirutzim?
This is a teaching moment. Some seforim say it is important for parents to say “I do not know” in front of kids to model the right behavior.
