parents sometimes use white-lies in communicating with their children, especially golden age children who are active and curious about many things.

this research using cognitive dissonance theory and data is collected by interview.

the subjects were five parents of students at al-Ghazaly kindergarten who have golden age children.

the results showed, parents use white lies when children ask lots of questions and explore new things.

children curiosity sometimes makes parents uncomfortable; the way parents reduce their discomfort by using white-lies.

suggestion for the next researcher is to divide more specifically parents uncomfortable.
