I think it's important to realize that young children may have different needs regarding the truth and existential facts than an adult or grown child. I don't see this as an attempt to avoid the truth so much as it is simply providing an account which the child is capable of handling at their particular stage of emotional and intellectual development. Children have different needs; sometimes the bald truth isn't appropriate for those needs.
