1)The prohibition to lie applies equally
to men and women. Children as well should be
trained to speak truthfully. (See Talmud Sukkah 46)
2)There
is no difference if the lies that are spoken are directed at a man,
woman or child, or even a non Jew, they are still forbidden.
(See Sefer Chasidim Siman 426)
Thus,
one should not promise a reward to child for good behavior and then not
follow through with the promise as doing so is lying as well as
teaching the child that one doesn't need to keep their promised word. (See
Talmud Sukkah ibid. See also Sefer Ahavas Chesed from the Chofetz Chaim
Perek 9 that aside from lying there may be other transgressions
involved)

Reader Submitted Questions of interest
on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting
topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to
questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my
own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
What is
the bracha and bracha acharona for kasha? Is it mezonot and Al hamichya
like a regular grain or is it borei nifashot like rice?
Answer:
Kasha, buckwheat, contrary to popular belief, is not a
grain. Its Bracha is HoAdama and its after Bracha is Borei Nefashos.
(See Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 1 Siman 65 and Yoreh Deah Vol. 2
Siman 25).
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל
יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות
אלא הלכות -
one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in
Olam Haba - the world to come. (Talmud
Niddah 73a)
