> How do you teach respect for the truth?

For one thing, by being truthful.  It helps to value honesty -- particularly
in the difficult areas, like your own personal life.  Our children emulate
us, no matter what we do; they don't do what we say, they do what we do.  Be
honest with yourself and with them, express in your own life the superior
utility of honesty over the short-term advantage of dishonesty, and you'll
have a good start on helping your offspring be truthful.
