"I saw it online. They said so. Everyone knows" — and your child already believes it?
Not because they're gullible — but because they haven't learned to ask: where did this come from in the first place?
When the source is "someone said so"
At school a classmate confidently retells something they heard. In a chat someone drops a screenshot with no link. In a video a blogger opens with "actually, it's not at all what they tell you". It sounds confident, specific, convincing. The child takes it as fact — and walks away with a ready-made "truth".
The issue isn't the words themselves — it's where they came from. The same sentence can be true or made up, depending on the source. "Someone said", "saw it on TikTok", "the internet says" — that's not evidence, it's a link to a link to a link. Without the habit of asking "how do you know that?", all information weighs the same: an expert's words and somebody's random opinion become interchangeable.
The result — the child starts to trust whatever sounds louder, not whatever is more accurate. A false claim from a punchy video can overwrite a correct explanation from a teacher — simply because the delivery was sharper. And it's not a one-off; it becomes a habit: take in information without checking where it came from.

She used to bring home everything she heard at school as fact. Now she asks herself first: "Where did she even get that?" And often the answer is — nowhere.
